This piece is not available until the end of July.
 "A Gathering" was inspired by my move from Los Angeles to the United Kingdom very recently. Times like this are challenging for everyone who make major changes in their lives. Mine has been cathartic. It is about leaving a place and friends that are loved, after many years.  Many memories gathered as I created this work, and that is the reason for my title.  
I have been working with a mixed media of primarily colour pencils over dry brushed paint and Copic markers, on paper for several years now, and love the meticulous detail that is possible. I take about three months to complete each piece from this series.There are many layers used to create opacity. I work on heavy weight archival paper. These pieces are called Pencil Paintings because they appear just like paintings.

My work does not conveniently fit into a category. There are elements of abstraction and glimpses of "reality". One might guess at surrealism, but I do not think of my work as such. My objective is about taking a fresh look at the traditional landscape. By using this familiar format, a dialogue is created between the viewer and the image. The brain always attempts to organize the lines, shapes and colors it perceives; with no easy reference point, there may be no connection. A recognizable arrangement even though out of the ordinary begins the communication. Born 1949, New York City. U.S.A.I have been an artist since childhood.I consider that the best is still ahead of me. It is my identity. I draw, paint and sculpt. For more than a decade now, my subject matter in art has been based on theories of a futuristic world. All my work has originated from or related to, cast off objects and recycled materials. My first major drawing on paper series, begun end of 2008 into 2009, The Peripheral World (or Peripherals), was first inspired by thrown away paper tissues, and creased papers. I am currently working on my most large and complex pieces to date.
