"My ascension in blue" is a painting from a series of works entitled "Ascension". My Ascension series are paintings dedicated to the meeting of the elements: earth, light, and water. They are moments for reflection... the reflection of light in the water, the stillness and sign of relief that comes with dusk. Also the deep breathe of awareness that comes with dawn... the moments in between, the times we are perhaps still, awaiting inspiration of reveling in the momentary stasis.

"My ascension in blue" is a magical, watery Ascension painting, with hints of the sea and the sky melding into one. It is serene and also a bit turbulent, a coupling of opposites. It is a painting of balance and equilibrium, with a dancing horizontal movement.

It is both sides of the moon.

"My ascension in blue" is part of a private collection in Padua, Italy.

"Walking in the fifth dimension" is a painting dedicated to going beyond the ordinary, the visible, the practical. It is inspired by the majesty and captivating beauty of the natural world, in the light just before dusk, when the earth and sky blend and become one. It is a large, enveloping painting, made for endless contemplation, full of hidden vistas, dynamic space, and mutating color. Its perspective is deep and wide, yet it also presents moments of delicate detail and minutiae. Viewing this painting is an experience in itself, like stepping into another world, another dimension.

"Walking in the fifth dimension" is one of the works I am most proud of. It successfully communicates the feeling of rapture and communion with the natural world. It is its own dimension.

At the time of this writing "Walking in the fifth dimension" is available for collection in my Italy studio.

I am obsessed with the sky. I crane my neck up often. Everywhere.

How can you not stare at the ever-changing sky? This magical, unpredictable, mysterious, expansive essence over your head, over the world?

"Sicilia" is a painting made while dreaming of the psychedelic, mind-blowing sky I witnessed every day in late September over the island of Marettimo in Sicily. I was on the eastern side of the island and would awaken early, just as the birdsong began, and watch the sun rise over the Mediterranean. I adore the dawn, that moment just before life wakes up. The aloneness of it. The quiet and stillness of dawn is my favorite time of the day.

"Sicilia" is dedicated to the at first subtle and then blazing and dramatic coming of the day.

As of this writing "Sicilia" is available for collection in my Italy studio.
