Mysterious Woman with a Piece of Chicken, Stapler and a Screwdriver, 2025
Acrylic on Canvas, Size 18”x24”
We started by writing a list of random objects from our imagination. I came up with the ideas of creating a stapler, a piece of chicken, a screwdriver and a very mysterious woman. My background started out as a basketball court and evolved into an abstract design that brought it all together to create a unique junction of art.

The Milky Way, 2025
Acrylic Paint on Canvas, Size 16”x20”
It was made of acrylic paints that were poured down and dabbed sponges plus other tools. I explored a different technique. The Milky way involves lots of movement with stars in the galax y.

The Midnight Howl, 2025
Mixed Medium on Canvas with Acrylic, Beads, Pearls and Rhinestones, Size 12”x12”
This painting is like when you are walking in the woods, you can hear the wolves howling. To me the wolves are unique and exotic spiritual animals. This painting is created with acrylic paint and beads on canvas. The wolves are guardians of their territory. They are always with you in the woods.
Artwork Image Description: A beaded scene of a river in a forest at dusk. A sky of black and blue beads contains white beaded stars. Black beads form the rocky riverbanks, while a large, red wolf head with yellow eyes stares out at the viewer.

A Wonderful Walk through the Landscape, 2025
Mixed Medium on Canvas with Acrylic, Beads, Pearls and Rhinestone, Size 11”x14”
When I walk through the landscape I feel very good. I created this painting with acrylic paint, beads and pearls. I like landscapes because I feel the wide open spaces. I see the trees, the sky, green grass and the earth. I feel like I'm at home.
