Fuller Warren Bridge
The Fuller Warren Bridge is part of the I-95 Interstate corridor that runs through downtown Jacksonville all the way to Miami. I’ve taken that route many times! I chose to depict the bridge from the vantage point of the Cummer Museum of Art’s amazing Versailles-like gardens just south of the bridge. I thought that by…

Buckman Bridge
The Buckman Bridge is part of the heavily traveled I-295 Interstate highway that runs east-west from the southwest side of Jacksonville near the Naval Air Station to the Mandarin and San Jose areas of town. With this particular bridge, I decided to feature the St. Johns River and get playful and more abstract than usual…

Beneath and Beyond
It was a magical canoe trip with a friend down Julington Creek in Jacksonville that inspired Beneath and Beyond. I was in the bow and could take pictures while absorbing the Old Florida natural beauty all around me. Like in all my landscape paintings, I am always inspired by place. Dimensions42″w x 58″h MediumAcrylic mixed…
Frida Hidden in Plain View
Despite contracting polio at six, the agony of spina bifida and her near-fatal car accident, Frida Kahlo never saw herself as a victim. While she could have easily adopted a negative mindset, she instead transformed her harsh realities into a passion of expression through art and a conviction of her self-identity that often challenged…
Fire and Ice

Main Street Bridge
My Jacksonville, Florida bridge series would not be complete without the distinctive bright, cerulean blue-colored Main Street Bridge. It absolutely defines the city’s skyline and connects the Southbank of the river to the heart of downtown Jacksonville. The bridge’s official name is the John T. Alsop Jr. Bridge, named after the longest-serving mayor in Jacksonville’s…

Quake
Life on earth is in a precarious state. The world seems to be discharging so many climatic and human tragedies and there seems to be no letting up. Gradually an idea for a painting began to germinate. I knew what the title would be before I made a single mark on the canvas—Quake. Dimensions 54″w…

Quartet
My idea to somehow depict the four seasons of the year remained in an incubated state for years until I noticed a magnificent Live Oak tree in my neighborhood. Its anthropomorphic branches spanned perhaps forty feet in width. I had to paint it. As I began, the four seasons concept re-emerged. But, instead of painting…

The two awesome Medici lions made of granite and named Faithful and Firm guard the west end of the bridge. They…
Dames Point Bridge
To me, the Dames Point Bridge resembles a huge sailing vessel, featuring what appears to be four enormous white sails. No wonder, since Dames Point got its name from Captain Charles Dames who used the surrounding land for his ship-building plantation. But it is officially called the Napoleon Bonaparte Broward Bridge after a river pilot who went on to…
Hart Bridge
The Hart Bridge presents a dramatic contrast of a bold green arch against the vibrant colors of an early evening sky. I couldn’t help but try to capture the beauty of these glistening hues.

River / Road / Rail / Acosta Bridge
There is always a great deal of activity on, through and under the Acosta Bridge in downtown Jacksonville. The train trestle bridge, built in 1925, fascinates me. I love its rusty steel struts. It runs alongside and contrasts visually with the streamlined design of the Acosta Bridge and is fully functional for trains passing through…

Isadora Duncan: The Children
Isadora is another artist in my biographical series. Duncan’s philosophy of dance departed from classical ballet toward more natural movement and personal expression in the early 20th century. While living in Europe for a time, she had two children who were both born by the sea and both died by drowning. Ironically, Duncan was very…

It is very hard, if not impossible, to live in the Pacific Northwest, specifically the Puget Sound region, and not become seduced by, and ultimately—become part of, the pervasive coffee culture that thrives in this part of the country—come rain or shine. This book represents my journey into the realm of coffee establishments around the…

Window in Oaxaca is an interpretation of a window I have walked by dozens of times. It’s very close to the small pensiόn where I stay when I’m in Oaxaca.

Metamorphosis…Bound
Metamorphosis….Bound came about as a result of my outrage at the abhorrent ritual of female genital mutilation of young girls—still practiced in some African, Asian and Middle East countries.
