‘Fragments, Fadings and Feelings’, an exhibition of transparent panels echoes the feeling tone of China’s calligraphy. I abstracted the traditional forms to create a more exuberant, robust less restrictive impression of modern China. September 2006.

Here is a detail of one of the large paintings I did when I came back from Egypt. These rams are lined up at the entrance to the Temple of Karnak.
Egypt
May 9, 2007My recent paintings introduce light boxes set within canvas structures to highlight artwork inspired by sketches done during a recent trip to Egypt. I use hieroglyphics, line drawings of symbolic animals and abstract color shapes, to capture the power and scale of Egypt’s ancient monuments. At the same time, my work evokes the ethereal beauty of the Pharaoh’s profoundly held belief in an eternal after life. 2450 BC Mixed media on canvas and mulberry paper 54†x 84†2006
Outside my Window

Last weekend was Opening Day on the Bay. I was out walking and sketching while all the boats were streaming towards the Golden Gate Bridge. In one sitting, drawing on a long piece of paper, I recorded one of these opening days. Then, with a few brushstrokes of watercolor, I connected the sketches making a cohesive whole.
I’ve made an artist book using these sketches. The book is written, illustrated and bound by me. Materials used are vellum, raw canvas, cotton cord, and Somerset Velvet Enhanced 330 gsm. It’s printed on an Epson 9600 printer with archival ultra chrome inks. Printed by Trillium Press the artist’s book costs $75. Edition of 35. 2005 2 x 3 inches Accordion fully extended 7 feet.
