Dance Collection

"Dance is the language of the Body and Soul"

- Martha Graham





Flora series Fauna series



(L) Flowers (C) Palms (R) Lily of the Valley

' Flowers '... a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all of the utilities of the world - Ralph Waldo Emerson
' Palms ' reminiscent of a hacienda and for a windowless corridor.
' Lily of the Valley ' Concentrate and you can hear the lillies ring sweetly like little bells.



(L) Tusker (C) Phrog (R) Leopard




' Tusker ' is intended as a raging bull kicking up a cloud of dust in its charge.
' Leopard ' has elements of realism combined with animation. Make no mistake its glare is as focused as it can get.
' Phrog ' was inspired by the extraordinary properties of the amphibian skin and ... kermit

The Embrace The Celebration

(L) The Embrace (C) The Year of the Rooster (R) The Celebration

Out of continuity to the ' I spy I see ' series I pursued working on the burlap medium (also known as gunny).' The Celebration ' was done in anticipation of the celebration of my nephews' 21st birthday. Its fun, its playful, its cheery,its colourful...everything a celebration should be. ' The Embrace ' is about the unique act us humans display our varietal emotions ... of happy , when sad, to comfort, in joy, for affection, when projecting respect, to shower love...

I think 'The Year of the Rooster' can also make a good design for a greeting card each Rooster lunar year.
