The work in this portfolio marks a return to painting after many years in the color darkroom. The lessons learned of light and color are carried over to the images here. Like luminography, these paintings have been created in layers of transparency, piling up information to create a synthetic expression.

This series references the concept of origin, and the notion of the garden as our beginning as a species; they exemplify life and loss, change and creativity, inspiration and dreams. Entitled Querencia these depict places of safety and longing, the locus of no harm. Literally the spot in the bullring where the toro feels unthreatened, Querencia introduces spaces that transform the viewer, by enrichment, and by engagement.
