Synopsis of the project: As human development continues, we are endangering many species on the planet and driving them to extinction, therefore I have created crosses and placed real animal skeletons and skulls on them. The process of learning to articulate these skeletons and my foray into sculpture has been very enlightening,
Does extinction have a cost?
This series debuted at Aqua Art Miami during Art Basel week in Miami in December 2015.
Materials used: Animal skeletons, steel, copper, brass, wood, blood, sweat and tears.
A range of portraits of USA Olympic gold medalists and others that have sat for me.

America is a land of laws and I wanted to bring awareness to our Constitutional Amendments through art. This project spawned in 2012 and is the first non-photographic art that I ever created. The series quickly states and sums up what the Amendments implement in simple memes that are overlaid on the body of the text.

The veil was introduced more then 3000 years ago and initially worn as a symbol of social status and not religion, I.E. by respected women & wives of the household so that they could be distinguished from slaves and or prostitutes.
This ART project of mine, which I call The UnVeiling Project, questions the use of this Pre-Roman piece of cloth in our world today. I have photographed and recorded the quotes of numerous women, the first in 2004, from many backgrounds and religions, wearing only a Veil and asked how they felt wearing it.
There are only 10 images from the series of 35 women shown on this page. The rest will be released shortly.
Here are their quotes.
Just this piece of cloth, their voice and Mother Earths very own, female form.
These images are only for the web. The limited and different collection will be shown in a gallery within the next year and will be created on canvas/mixed media with synthetic polymer paint.
WORSHIP the feminine. Worship the Female Goddess.
A dream of mine has always been to create my image, Diver UP into a sculpture. And now we are almost here. This is the final wax mold and she will become a bronze goddess soon. 12 inches tall. Stay tuned.
