Ibis: The Four and Ibis: The Five form a dignified diptych celebrating the elegance and legacy of one of nature’s most symbolic birds. Rendered in bronzed neutrals and soft metallic shadows, each ibis stands poised in graceful formation, their crescent-shaped profiles evoking the wisdom and mystery of ancient mythology.

Revered in Egyptian iconography as the sacred bird of Thoth — god of knowledge and writing — the ibis becomes here a symbol of collective intelligence, calm order, and enduring grace. Whether displayed together or individually, these works offer a contemplative tribute to the quiet majesty of the flock.

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.

This study invites the viewer to slow down and observe how color breathes across a surface. The gentle interplay of jade and earthen hues creates a sense of grounded calm, evoking the timelessness of natural stone and the simplicity of intentional form. A quiet composition with lasting presence.

Jazz Legends is a soulful tribute to rhythm, elegance, and timeless cool. Ella and Louis — two stylish birds with big presence and bigger personality — take the stage with grace and grit.

This composition is dedicated to the iconic American musician and pillar of the “Grateful Dead,” Jerry Garcia.
Named after a composer and born in San Francisco, music was enstilled and encouraged by his family and teachers at an early age. Growing up in and around Menlo Park, Jerry emerged as a founder of the Grateful Dead in the early 1960s. Soon thereafter, he became an American icon.
Beyond the quality and craftsmanship of the 20+ gold or platinum certified albums released over his lifetime attesting to the quality of his music, Jerry just made you feel good and happy.
He “owned” the guitar, effortlessly improvising with the band while supplying beloved vocals in perfect harmony. Studio recordings were good... but live was so much better.  Those were the days. You are very missed.
P.S. Thanks to John Mayer, who recently called it "the honor of a lifetime" to play with Dead & Co. Together, they're keeping Jerry's great music alive.

Golden koi parade in a secluded azure spring in harmonious yet impassioned magnificence.  The origin of the word "koi" dates to ancient Japan when referring to the most wild and pure species of carp.  In earlier Chinese mythology, there was a place called "Dragon's Gate" on the Yellow River atop a large waterfall.  If a koi were able to traverse the challenge, it was said that they would transform into a dragon.
