My Place: This piece is from my first collegiate art class, 2-D Design. The only instruction my professor gave was that it had to be "about place", more specifically, a place that was personal to us. I decided that my place was not a particular place at all, but a time of day. I decided to use color and line to evoke a feeling of sunset fading into night. Collage - Printed Images. 32x40.
The Stigmata: This drawing was done to fulfill an assignment with the requirement of making an original composition using the golden ratio (1.618:1). From one hand to the other and down to the center of the goblet forms one point of a five-pointed star, which uses the golden ratio in its geometry. Graphite on paper.
Still Life Study: My professor always chose very random objects for our still lifes - hence, the rubber glove. Oil on Canvas.

“A mathematician confided
That a Möbius band is one-sided
And you'll get quite a laugh
If you cut one in half
For it stays in one piece when divided.”

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”
Dr. Suess
“Marvel not at the gold and the expense but at the craftsmanship of the work. Bright is the noble work, but, being nobly bright, the work should brighten the minds, so that they may travel, through the true lights, to the True Light where Christ is the true door. In what manner it be inherent in this world the golden door defines, the dull mind rises to truth through that which is material. And, in seeing this light, is resurrected from its former submersion.”
Abbot Suger, of the cathedral Saint-Denis
