  Always wanted to design a T-Shirt. I kept this simple and and actually googled “The Sky is Failing” to see if anyone had used this phrase. After a quick look I found it turned up only as a typo. I “plan” on more ambitious images as soon as I can figure them out…

  Content / My work is inspired by the natural world. Its beauty and its cruelty. Its hostility and its hospitality. Its paradoxes and its contrasts. When looking at nature, one can’t help but see its destruction at the hands of humans. It is virtually impossible to find unspoiled nature. Our planet’s ecological balance has been severely compromised, and phenomena such as global warming and the deterioration of the ozone layer affect every inch of the planet. I feel strongly that each of us must use the tools at our disposal to preserve and restore the natural world. As an artist, I employ visual language to address these issues with the goal of awakening interest and inspiring my audience to action. To learn more about each series’ subject in order to better understand and communicate its essence. Those who cannot be reached by depressing news about the dire state of our world may be reached by images of its beauty (Ansel Adams successfully showed this) and the threat imposed on it. Art has the power to make one see things in a new light. It allows us to develop a love for places and things that we would otherwise not have noticed, or thought of as ugly or boring. It helps us discover the beauty of the ocean floor, the dirt or alluvial mud that is bog, the bark of a tree. / Approach / Rather than re-creating a landscape on a canvas, I aim to express its essence. Obviously, no single work can hope to distill the complex spirit of a landscape, much less the infinitely sophisticated ecology that sustains it. So, in order to capture this richness, I work on a large number of paintings concurrently. This allows me to transport strong elements and effective techniques from one piece to the next. Each multi-layered rendering shares some details with the other works in the series. The overlap of elements enriches each individual expression and deepens the cohesion within the series. Ultimately, each piece captures some fragment of the landscape’s power until the larger body of work coalesces to express its deepest essence.

  I have just created my first Red Bubble calendar. It features some of the best images I have produced this year including dragonflies, butterflies and other natural things. It is designed to soothe the soul and lift the spirits; take a look; I think you’ll like it.

• Mass Extinction of Frogs

  Anyone who is concerned about the environment has been aware for years that Frog populations are declining. It’s always a warning sign when frogs start disappearing from local streams and ponds. When I was a kid I loved exploring the outdoors and often would find frogs, toads, and salamanders, but that’s less likely to happen nowadays. According to experts hundreds of species of frogs have gone extinct in the past 20 years!!! Listening to the details on the morning news was painful and I’ve decided to do what little I can to help. I’ve just opened an account with RedBubble and plan to sell T-shirts featuring the the frogs from my artwork. For every purchase I will donate $1.00 to SaveaFrog.com. Saveafrog.com is run by the Atlanta Botanical Garden in Georgia. They strive to house and feed endangered frogs they rescue.
