LEAF CUTTER ANTS  
 

When meditating on life's complexities, I reflect on the modest leaf cutter ants from my native South American region. As they go about their daily lives, they inadvertently create a magnificent dance of swaying leaves. Creating a rhythmic symphony of teamwork and voluntary commitment to the clan. They embody a utopian world, free of prejudice where life is beautiful just where you are.

POLISHED METAL
 

My polished metal paintings are intuitive works of contemplation that emerge from a state of acceptance. They are an unfathomable response  to a rhetorical inquiry. These numerically titled compositions are intended to encourage an open-ended interpretation.

MINIATURE FLOWERS 
 

Flowers are not always thought of as the fundamental building components of life. In my miniature flower series, I emphasize the symbiotic nature of our planet. The flower interacts with the pollinator, which perpetuates the food chain's progression. This work evolves into a tapestry of interrelated individuals working together to generate a broader vision.
