My work expresses the relations between humans and the earth. My paintings reveal war and peace in the ancient tradition of portraying The Garden of Paradise.

Tell Them to Send Fast Horses
Sometimes I have a title in my sketchbook and I just have to wait until an image comes out. Birds have been used as messengers and I was surprised to learn that even during WWI pigeons were being used to deliver messages. Not sure how that worked out when tanks and flame throwers were introduced into battlefield tactics.
