Beautifully Broken : Sometimes it takes a while to come to terms with one’s life. This series I have created is one of those instances where, after many years, I finally took such a step. In 1980, I was involved in a car crash that left me with injuries to my legs, and I had to learn to walk again with the use of crutches. During that time, I still wanted to be like everyone else. When I realized that wasn’t going to happen, I faced the facts and quit running from who I was. To come to terms with it, I created a series of reverse glass paintings I titled “Beautifully Broken” that featured abstract figures using crutches in an expressionistic painting scheme. As I researched the type of art I would paint, I noticed that people with disabilities have been rarely included in the field of art. Hence, I thought,” How about doing a series of disabled people by a disabled dude?” and that is how “Beautiful Broken” was started with the thought that people with disabilities can be an art and an artist can be disabled. But there is more to the story. That idea was the jumping-off point, but the gist of the matter is that color is also a significant part of the work I create. In the use of color, for these paintings, I aimed to employ contrasting hues to create a piece that vibrates with energy. Next was the use of reverse glass painting to convey my feelings, which is another story. At the time I was developing the idea, I was an etched glass artist who etched front doors and any other glass items, so the transition to using glass was only natural. I love to scratch out the paint and see what comes of it. Art is sometimes planned, but the best is often the unexpected. For me, that is what reverse glass painting gave me. So, enjoy the series, and we will let time take us where it leads us.

Wisdom Seekers ; There once was a group of cosmic wanderers referred to some as the Wisdom Seekers. They are renowned for appearing out of the blue. It would happen when the wind became calm, with the sound of a snap and crackle, followed by the smell of lightning filling the air. A gap in the atmosphere would become hazy, and a door would open. When it did, out walked this stranger, adorned in a red hooded cloak tied at the waist with a golden rope. In their hand, a wooden staff was held. The reason they were there was always a mystery to the townsfolk. If one were to spy this red hooded stranger and if, IF, had the nerve to walk up and ask what they wanted, the answer would always be the same, “I am here seeking wisdom,” and that was all one would get out of them, for they would always just turn and walk away. Within this site here today you will find some of the illustrations created by some of the townsfolk who were lucky or unlucky enough to have witnessed a Wisdom Seeker when they visited their planet. Enjoy and beware, for we are not sure to this day whether they are friend or foe.

Chronicles of the Wisdom Seekers ; Tales never told before and never again. Within these words are the travels of the Wisdom Seekers as they search for not only wisdom but the answers to the cosmos.
