The 84 pieces below are a treasure trove of odds and ends, once kept on the edge of periphery and disregarded as random deviations from my primary body of work. Although, they are certainly not of secondary importance.

​

These have been informative manifestations, after all, impetuous compositions that have served various purposes; whether as practice pieces, emotional releases, escapes, and/or experiments. And, as they accumulated over the years... they also started to tell a more intimate story about the creative journey, which is both inspiring and heartbreaking; romantic and tragic; discouraging at times; but always illuminating (for those curious enough to keep digging).

​

So, if you're feeling adventurous... exploring the fully mixed collection will provide a more faithful experience, encountering the images as they were confronted internally (as a vast swarm of competing impressions, all yearning to be expressed simultaneously).

​​​

Or, if you prefer a more composed experience, you can also filter by category:

Abstract Expressionism   |    Experimental Art    |   Landscapes   &   Monotypes

​​

Either way...
