These abstracts evoke the mystery of ancient Aztec architectural forms and the contrasts between simple and elegant versus bold and powerful.
The Aztecan city of Tenochtitlan would become the world's largest city by the 16th century, and the seat of an expansive empire. Important features of the city included a the royal palace, a central plaza, temples, shrines, pyramids, courtyards, lush gardens, and even ball courts. While construction initiatives were limited to primitive tools and manual labor, their engineers had deployed precise mathematical techniques based on a "vigesimal" system, which is only now being understood by modern archaeologists.

The paired abstract set Constance and Thalia draw their inspiration in the fresh renaissance now enveloping the New Orleans Lower Garden District and the enduring streets which share their names. This stately neighborhood was originally founded in 1830's by Americans migrating to the former French colonial capital in the promise of the Louisiana Purchase. These compositions celebrate the embrace of contemporary generations to this once abandoned corner of the fabled city. Earthen tones with haunting shadows are slowly overcome by the emerging brightness of lively bluish and golden hues.

As an 18th century inspiration for many women to follow, Anna Amalia founded a theatrical company, was a notable symphonic composer, and endowed a library which is now home to over 1,000,000 volumes.
