My 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
