Map & Directions

Following my Muse has taken me on a circuitous path through different materials and mediums. I consider myself to be a painter although for decades I have been working in stone, wood, glass, and then back to paper and pigment. I don’t utilize three-dimensional materials as a sculptor would. I leave the base shape of the materials untouched and utilize surface applications of color and texture much as a painter affects canvas. I present a carnival of mythological narrative drawing deeply from superstitions, historical and contemporary mythology along with cultural folklore icons. I often include allegorical imagery or elements of magical symbolism. My work features symbolic rather than realistic color, symbols instead of perceived reality, ideas rather than direct observation. In the end, my philosopher’s stone is made of pigment, paper, stone and bone, involving spiritual and folkloric elements and the search for meaning that extends through generations.

Work in Stone link to this group

Cairns, or Stacked Stones are one of the oldest forms of mankind’s artistic expression. Although I principally consider myself to be a painter for decades I have been also working in stone. I don’t address stone as a sculptor would. Typically I add surface applications leaving the natural shape untouched much as a painter affects canvas. The stone stacks are built to order and pricing will vary. I’d be happy to build one or three for you!

Paintings / Collage link to this group

Ultimately whichever medium I am working with at the core I am a painter. My basic theme is mythology and whether I’m working in pigment and canvas, stone, wood or bone I approach my materials the way a painter affects canvas, with surface applications utilizing color and texture to achieve my vision.

Totems link to this group

Cedar logs from the North Shore of Lake Superior enhanced with hand made Glass Eyes to look over your property and well being.  Price will vary depending on size. A silent totem to hold space for you. Delivery and Installation is available in the Greater Metro Area.

Krampus and Perchten link to this group

In Germany and throughout much of the Alps, Jolly Old St Nick has an evil helper named Krampus. While Santa brings gifts to the good children, Krampus punishes the wicked. Krampus is one member of the race of Perchten, in this tradition the young men of the village carve elaborate wooden masks and help frighten winter out of the village. Doing my part to add to the narrative I have carved some Krampus and Perchten for your enjoyment. Local pickup and delivery only.
