Faces from our morning Zoom session with students from the British International School in Gaza, NeuroChem Lab, and Northwest Noggin outreach volunteers 😍

A tremendous THANKS to young students in Gaza, whose compelling questions about racing thoughts before bed, fight or flight, memory, sleep, development, autism, and the power of art to heal we’ll be thinking about for a long time.

So excited to return!!

I’m honored that the Maude Kerns art center asked me to jury this show on Contemporary figurative art, I stopped by the other day and it’s looking fantastic! I’ll also have a (finally finished) piece up there, if you happen to be around I’ll be at he opening. #figurativeart #contemporaryart

“Time Immemorial” I finished this one last year. I thought it worth saying that, I will NEVER recognize or obey any law that has religion as its sole basis. Or as Diderot put it “Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest” let’s get to strangling…

This one’s almost done…
As we witness the unfolding drama of unchecked power, I keep thinking about the words of F. Scott Fitzgerald “Let me tell you about the rich, they are different from you and me” #resist #makeart #contemporaryart #surrealism

Almost done with this one

A little part of what I’m making right now. I do love working on the details 🖌️🎨🖼️

They’re wood panels but I cut a .25 inch surface board separately from the frame so they’re actually hollow

I'm going to do my best to post some new work frequently here. This is "Apotheosis" it will be up this coming may at the Firehouse gallery in Longmont CO.

To spread a migraine load,
Fogless coordinates clear,
A tower fire, now contained”
