Blazing Cloud Lines

I simply love taking pictures
where clouds become fire.

Layers of clouds

My Mother's Present

Comparing these images illustrates how light interacts with this work. To truly know it is to be in its presence. It moves. It shimmers. My unique style of pencil, acrylic, and gel-texture was born of a long history. This is my first public display of the technique. It is a gift for my mother's birthday. I call it, 'A life well lived.' The symbols representing the light, form words, ideas, and memories from our lives together. It is as much an emotional tribute to her presence in my life as well as a journal of that territory. As with my father, my mother is the light of my life.
