I like creating paintings in mixed media; for this image of Lady Liberty I used my photo of the Grand Canyon, and I painted the statue in acrylic, from my own photo. To produce this work, I traveled to the Grand Canyon and to NY, two different trips that were equally enjoyable, but very different. The symbolism of this work is that both the Lady, and the Grand Canyon represent the feminine aspect of our existence.

The white hibiscus flowers are relatively rare compared to pink or red ones; I decided to paint this painting, 40.00" x 30.00" , acrylic on canvas, after some thought. I named it Inanna, after a very ancient Sumerian goddess. Inanna means Queen of Heaven, and her festival is celebrated on New Year's day. To me it represents an aspect of feminine beauty, as well as the beauty of nature.

Hi friends and visitors:
Today is the first day of autumn and a good day to post. I recently joined Artists Websites and Fine Art America, and am very pleased with my site so far. It is nice to be a part of this powerful network, and I am looking forward to starting my gallery site soon.
At this time I am working on some paintings, including the large canvas of close-ups of hibiscus flowers. Being a long time resident of Florida, I particularly enjoy the beauty of this flower.
But I also been an installation artist for over two decades, and always enjoy creating this form of art. I will post some on my galleries site in the future. Meantime, hope that you will enjoy my paintings and drawings.
