New Works

These are new paintings inspired by what has felt to me like a psychedelic encounter with plants at Botanic Gardens and seen in our travels. Most were painted onsite in Patagonia, Argentina and the state of Oaxaca, Mexico with a few done in New Mexico and Colorado. My paintings can only occur once – inspired by a unique location, experience or feeling. The exotic botanic world in both places spoke to me. These are partially fictionalized, partially observed portraits of these psychedelic “creatures”. They are gouache and metallic acrylic.
