Interviewed by Don Cook by CJOB Radio today for a 3 min spot on the work at Mona Lisa which is great, it will bring more beneficial attention to the cause of homelessness and the effort to sell some pieces.  

I love the subtlety of "Curved Space"...

With "Ethical Axis"..love the depth and colours.  

New Pieces on display and for sale at the Mona Lisa Resterante on Corydon.  

Installed (15 abstract pieces) at Mona Lisa Restorante on Corydon today -Thank you Guliana Grande  (!), Lisa Thibeault my sweetheart and old gymnast buddy Matt Grapentine for helping put them all up.  They range in price from $200.00 to $900.00 and im donating proceeds to the Downtown Biz CEO Sleepout effort that i cant be a part of because of my hernia operation Thursday (same day as the CEO Sleepout).  So i thought how can i be part of that effort?  Simple! I just happen to have my work on display till the end of Oct so this could help if i make a few sales.  I'll be at the Mona Lisa "Cantena" (lounge) Oct 2nd and Oct 9th 7-9 pm to meet with any people who would like to ask me questions about the work and i'll have many paper pieces ($50-$200.00) on hand for sale as well.  

I've really enjoyed reading the books of Scientist Writer Dr. Sam Harris.   His various lectures, books, and papers on moral development have certainly impacted my teaching Ethics classes.   I look forward to reading his new book "Waking Up- A Guide to Spirituality without Religion" to which i can only comment its time to dispel mythology and allow science and reason to help humanity move forward.   I do believe science can replace superstition and help us understand more about mind, consciousness and the nature of transcendence.

NEW! The "Great Spirit" 24"X24" acrylic on deep canvas.  On display and for sale at Mona Lisa Restorante till the end of Oct/15.    

INSPIRATION & INTENTION-  My own muse is observation, reading & reflection.  I study the mythology of all cultures, the spiritual and initiatic disciplines of Kabbalah, Sufism, Shamanism and Freemasonry, ancient history, ancient, classical and modern architecture and design, high technology,  quantum science and theories...all of this brings to my mind wonder and understanding, and of course, still more questions.  This activity then sparks a mode of being that moves me to create and in turn to inquire even further.   There's a constant loop of intentional looking outward and inward that serves to generate my visual representations.  This observation and inquiry 'fills' my mind and spirit that in turn fuels the art which reflects beauty, harmony and intention.  The out ward feeds the inward and the whole feed the parts.  Its a pretty exciting paradigm of growth, change and understanding that feeds creation and beauty i think.
