A View Of The World That Normally Goes Unnoticed.
My films lean so much toward the abstract while my paintings bend away from it. I have no idea why, They are my dynamic paintings,. Always moving. Until the end.

"Homecoming" Another way home
I was in the desert filming a dream video I had in mind. Driving home I stumbled onto something else. The film was made in my head long before I got home. The dream video still hasn't been completed.

"Moonrise on the Pond"
An otherworldly trip down to the pond
This film was inspired by a failed attempt at filming a full moon. What the camera did in its defiance inspired me. Combined with a pond and my paintings a surreal visit down by the pond was created.
