The sacred datura is a bit of an obsession for me. The bud, the night blooming, the scent, the moth, the spiky seed pods - it's all great. Here a bud primed to open that night is blanketed by a blossom from the night before. The blossoms wilt like vampires with the sun.

We are gathering. Join us! Arizona State Capitol now. Protest like this is your last chance.

'Old Beginnings' is a 12 x 12 chromaluxe print, currently part of the Desert Within exhibit at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson, AZ.

Black Bluebell, 12 x 12 dye sublimation print. One of twelve of my photos at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum's Ironwood Gallery. (SOLD 🔴, but it's an edition of 15...) This feisty little wildflower volunteered from a tiny crack in the pool decking during the hottest year on record in a drought.

Gift article for you, so no pay wall. I really enjoyed her work when I'd see it in local museums, mostly in the 90s I believe. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/a...

"Ishmael and Queequeg Walk Into A Bar" 2024 acrylic on oil 16 x 20. Inspired by the only image I took away from trying to read Moby Dick decades earlier.

I work in all directions. After I've decided the best hanging orientation I let some time pass and change my mind.💬 It's a problem. Which direction is best, 1, 2, 3 or 4? 👀 [12 x 12, acrylic and oil on cradled board.] #abstractpainting #art #oilpainting

"Novena for the Re-emergence of the Goddess," nine 15 x 15 dye sublimation prints on prepared aluminum. (The virgin birth represent the birth of the spiritual life in the human...it has nothing to do mythologically with a biological anomaly --Joseph Campbell) #josephcampbell #goddessenergy #bvm

"Lemon Drop," 20 x 16 oil on canvas. This joyful improvisation takes its title from Ella Fitzgerald's irrepressible 1973 live recording of the tune. 😄

"Hurtle Duffield," oil on cradled board, 2024. Since I painted this it's been tricky to source cradled round panels. I'd like to do more round paintings. #abstractpainting #contemporaryart #oilpainting #arizonaartist
