In scary stories, "inky shadows" are often an important component. I love the tingly thrill of hearing a spooky story or watching a well done, scary movie. This piece is my representation of that feeling.

This piece depicts the evolution of an elaborate idea, starting with a simple concept, and adding more and more complexity. Fibonacci fans will enjoy counting circles, bubbles, and lines in this piece. I'm using Fibonacci numbers (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and 34) to represent the layering of complexity.

This piece contains two variations of one of my recent pieces titled "Breaking Free." I created Breaking Free because I enjoy feeling free to create art in any style or medium. I recall a time long ago when I was frustrated by paint-by-numbers, which always had such drab colors. What a thrill it was to paint my first piece without any rules! This piece celebrates artistic freedom.

I read about Buba and Kiki in V. S. Ramachandran's "The Telltale Tale Brain," which includes an experiment involving two shapes. This experiment proved that sound has shape using amorphous shapes. In this piece, I've given Buba and Kiki faces.

I created this piece because I wanted to capture those brief seconds between being asleep and being fully awake, the mingling of consciousness and dreams, and the precarious nature of the memory of a dream.

I created this piece because I was recently reminded of how powerful one's legacy can be. A promising young life is headed for greatness as a result of a tragedy in the distant past.

I created this piece because I wanted to capture the mesmerizing experience of watching new waters flowing to shore, the ancient rhythm of the sea. To quote Heraclitus (535 BC - 475 BC), "You can never step twice in the same stream, for new waters are ever flowing in upon you." It seems incredible that someone who lived so long ago could say something that resonates with people today.
