60 Juicy Fruit Packs

60 Juicy Fruit Packs. Acrylic on paperboard on canvas. 24 x 24 x 3 in. 
Angled view showing three levels of gum packs.

This is one of five pieces I donated to Madi’s House, a supportive environment for adults with mental health and addiction issues. 

49 Bottle Caps (Red)

49 Bottle Caps (Red). Acrylic on steel with painted found frame 10.5h x 10.5w x 1d in.

I sent this small wall sculpture to a friend for a birthday present. Environmentally friendly, it features recycled bottle caps on a recycled frame.

2 CD’s on Beads

2 CD’s on Beads. Acrylic on compact discs on beads with aluminum-covered found frame. 16 x 13 x 1 in.

I started this piece years ago. It went through a number of iterations before I ended up with the painted CD’s you see here. I gave this to a musician friend and he really liked it. Check out the frame. It looks like silver, but it’s just aluminum foil. 

Secret Artworks 2020

Hello Mello Yellow 99 + 17. Acrylic on gum packs and canvas. 36 x 36 x 2.5 in.

I was happy to be one of 50 local artists included in this year’s Secret Artworks auction. Online this year, it raised money for Artworks, the organization that paints beautiful murals throughout the Cincinnati area. My wall sculpture, titled, “Hello Mello Yello 99 + 17” features 116 empty Juicy Fruit Packs (I chew a lot of gum) fixed on a 36-inch square canvas. In case you’re wondering, the numbers in the title stand for 9 x 11 = 99 packs stuck on the canvas plus 17 more doubled up for more dimensionality.

German Paper Maschay

Egg-shaped Key Dish. Acrylic on German Paper Maschay. 6 x 5 x 1 in.

This key dish is made from German Paper Maschay, a top-secret, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional French papier mache. A dish like this can also be used for coins or candy or any other small items. Use your imagination!

Double Vision XI to Be Rescheduled

CD Collection. Acrylic and compact discs on canvas. 36 x 36 in.

I collaborated with my friend Katie on this piece for Double Vision XI. The popular Visionaries + Voices fundraiser was originally scheduled for this past Friday. The whole V+V community is looking forward to the rescheduled event which hopefully will take place later in the year.

Recent Commission

Not Quite Right (Angles) 54. Paper Clips and Amalgamation 35.

I recently created and sold a commissioned wall sculpture, Not Quite Right (Angles) 54. Here it is in a room above a piece called Amalgamation 35.

Paper Clip Wall Sculptures

Plump Triangle, Random Geometric Shape and Five Squares.

These three paper clip pieces were on display at Art Beyond Boundaries Gallery from November to January. Although very attractive, the tiny thermostat wall sculpture is not part of my work.

Secret Artworks 2019

5 Quarters. Acrylic on compact disks on cardboard. 7 x 5 in.

This is the piece I did for Secret Artworks. I’m happy to be a part of this fundraiser that benefits Artworks, an organization that among other things paints big beautiful murals all over Cincinnati.

Five Hubcaps

Five of my recently painted hubcaps were displayed together at Art Beyond Boundaries Gallery in OTR in October.
