Recent Work
2007-present
Much of my recent work centers on sacred geography-shrines, temples, churches and places of worship. I have encountered these holy places in travels and in my own neighborhood in Albuquerque , NM.
 Sodaka's CraneInspired by the Japanese Poet Sodaka. The Poem on this translates as 'I will write peace on your wings and you will fly all over the world' |  StarsStars is inspired by many elements-community, the cosmos, ordinary heros. It is made with ink, sand and pastel. |
|---|---|
 Full MoonThe Buddhists in my neighborhood like to meditate together on the full moon. |  GuadalupeInspired by the numerous shrines to the Great Mother of God that I see in the southwest US. |
 Beth-ElInspired by the shrine that Jacob built from a stone he used as a pillow. His dream inspired him to keep going. |  Basho's BirdInspired by Basho's poem that sees the world in a drop of dew on a crane's beak. |
 BismallahThis features the great Islamic Prayer-In the Name of God, the Merciful and Compassionate-along with the dome of heaven. |  Tibetan DoorPeople like to put images of blessings on their doors all over the world. This print features a Buddhist diety, clouds and woodgrain. |

 Bird and MountainI live near mountains that teem with wildlife that invite peace. |  KamakuraInspired by Travels in Asia-Buddha and bicycles, both vehicles. |
