Primary work is in Expressionist/Surrealist oil & pastel painting, with some acrylics using themes of looking for the unseen, sense of experience.

This pastel on 11"H x 7"W unframed LuxArchival paper is titled, "Encounters".
It is an intuitive abstract work, using soft pastels with alcohol washes (much like how water creates effects in watercolors). Then as I worked, the floating figure-like images emerged, and the creature behind the greenery reveals itself. Much as when we work through spiritual or mental health challenges, we confront uncomfortable thoughts, situations and fears, which must be faced.
