  • Old Florida. This iconic landmark in Treasure Island has stood since it opened in 1957. I went to my first highschool party there in the mid 80’s. Last year hurricane Helene devastated the property with the storm surge. I heard 146 rooms were destroyed therefore condemning the Hotel. It will join countless hotels, motels and…

  •   The basic fish is so much more than basic. Pointillism a design with no direction evolved into an elegant combination of lines and form. So many fish in the sea, be the beauty one seeks out. A life of solitude cannot satisfy the need for acceptance and socialization. Stand out with class and style.

  • Acrylic on canvas Mysteries under the water reveals those who have passed.

  •   Saltwater spray fills the air as energy breaches the surface of the water. Freedom of flight if only for a moment. Splash a combination of smooth ink lines and stippling.

  • Rescued, reuse, reinvent. This 1950’s table was rescued from the curb. I could see the painting I wanted to do. A foam cushion inspired Einstein the octopus. “We watch the storm move in, hold on as the rollers start.” This won first place in the quarterly anything but canvas competition July 2025 at ARC3 creative in…

  • Expression is the best therapy when facing the unknown. A tumor in the bone with no explanation of how it came to be. Started this year with an X-ray, now we watch.
