Creating art and building community

Then ravine is holding and protecting the sky. They are quiet and fell like places apart from ordinary time and sometimes time stands still.


The Sky the Ravine Keeps

This painting captures hour when the day’s heat begins to release and the color intensify before the light falls. The light begin to come on one by one, as the evening begins.


Last Light on the Adobe

Where the Adobe Meets the Sky

The painting is a conversation between the sky and earth It contains the depth of geological time, and of ancestral memory. A movement between the sacred and everyday - two expressions in the same continuous ground. A relationship between what is present and what is still being made.

Two Worlds, One Ground

Not merely a gemstone. It is a piece of the sky. A drop of water made permanent. A fragment of the divine made touchable. The turquoise in the painting pulses with the ancient network that has not ever stopped happening. This sacred stone changes hands and changed the people who held it. No passage of time has loosened its hold.

Turquoise Trail

Songs the Earth Already Knows

Shapes nestle against each other with the confidence that have been repeated and refined over generations, creating a language that speaks of place, craft, and the human impulse to organize beauty into deliberate patterns. The solid blue border grounds it and makes it feel held and cherished.

Desert Horizon at Dusk

The composition evokes the warm glow of traditional New Mexican luminarias lighting up adobe buildings during evening festivities. The painting's striking use of architectural forms in golden yellow against the deep blue-black sky, framed by that rich red foreground, really captures the magical quality of Santa Fe architecture at night. The turquoise accents also echo the traditional Southwest color palette seen throughout the city.

This composition is a layered approach with the adobe walls in the foreground, the golden mission buildings in the middle, and the interplay of the blue and red in the sky. The turquoise frame around the edges adds the quintessential Southwest touch that's so characteristic of Santa Fe.

nature's flow

I am just outside of this painting looking forward and through it to what lies ahead. How does the sky look when sitting with an adobe structure? I wonder and wonder. I can’t wait to see what it has to offer me.

This painting is an arrangement of color and form with soft edges suggesting the spoken language. Some shapes are horizontal like lines of text, while others stand vertically like a punctuation of the visual narrative. The rich blue background serves as a stage that allow the chromatic element to resonate with its own distinct voice and contributing to the collective harmony.
