  Dried Up

  When I heard there'd be a Community Art Show at Linda K. Jordan Gallery at Gallaudet University, April 6 to April 24, 2009, I asked myself what I could put together with just a few days to work. I looked around at what I already had on hand, and found the foam board I'd been using for my model railr...

  Hanging of the Fire

  I was talking with my son about how I haven't made as much artwork as I wanted to. To prove a point, I told him I could finish a painting in a few minutes. So I did. Ten minutes, start to finish. I'd been missing watching the sunset out west, so I painted a yellow ball hanging by thin strings over...

  Still Purple

  I was sitting quiet one evening, watching Jolynn read. Everything felt still. I thought about her favorite color, purple, and how it would sit inside my own green world. I pictured a clock stopped mid-swing, the pendulum frozen instead of moving. That's what I wanted to paint. One purple ball, still...

  Subconscious at Work I

  I made this without any conscious plan, which is why I titled it Subconscious at Work. It was an experimental piece, since I was considering building a series of larger works like it down the road. For this piece, I covered wire mesh with acrylic hard molding paste and painted on top of it once it...

  Subconscious at Work II

  In the summer of 2012, while battling blood cancer, I went home after my first round of chemotherapy. I only had a few days of free time at home before heading back. My mom asked how I made Subconscious at Work I. With good reason, I gave her an actual demo. I made this smaller piece with orange...

  Textured Background

  I wanted a textured background for my desktop wallpaper. I looked around for something I liked and couldn't find it. Then I thought, wait, I can just make one myself. I wanted it in amber, but I painted it in blue instead. Blue is easier to shift digitally into other colors like amber or purple. J...

  Textured Background II

  I decided to do another textured background, this one for my Linux desktop wallpaper. Last year I did the first one in blue, since blue is easier to shift digitally into other colors like amber or purple. This time I skipped the digital shift and just painted it in the exact color I wanted from the...

  That's How I Read Your Lips

  I got frustrated with people asking me repeatedly, "Can you read my lips?" So I painted the mouth I actually see when someone tries to talk to me. It was a quick relief painting session, more about getting the feeling out than planning it carefully. Updated (4/4/2026): This painting was exhibited...

  Untitled

  I painted this without any clear intention or direction. Updated (8/8/2026): It's been hanging on my wall for seventeen years, and even now, I can't quite grasp its meaning. This morning I found myself pondering its purpose again, still unsure of what I was trying to express. Yet it stays on the w...
