This series (in progress) is a contemplative journey, a meditation on the profound connection between light, the human spirit and enlightenment. It is an exploration of the visible light spectrum and the corresponding colors of the seven chakras, energy centers within our body that govern our psychological and spiritual well-being.
In these minimalist oil paintings, I employ a restrained palette to evoke the quiet simplicity of enlightenment.
The Enlightenment Campaign—messages, words and color to enlighten and inspire during the profoundly transformational moment on our planet and in our country. In this campaign, the message is the medium. What I consider not-so-radical progressive ideas (more like common sense to me) that will shape a better society. The physical medium is digital prints aluminum or canvas.
Let's shift our planet to be more equitable and more empathetic, one message, one share, one communication at a time. ROYGBIV—a symbol of inclusion, the rainbow, the visible light spectrum, colors of the 7 chakras from yoga.
These messages are meant to be shared, posted and propagated with the ultimate hope that the more we can circulate radically equitable ideas of fairness and a non-patriarchal culture that ends domination, the better our society becomes for all Americans - male, female, black, white, Asian, brown, gay, straight or other.

For all the steps forward we have taken as a society towards equality justice and freedom, we took a massive step back with the elimination of federally guaranteed abortion rights and continue to see the oppression of people of color by our institutions.

These squares are intended to be printed, ideally on aluminum so the color radiates, and hung in multiples. Build yourself an enlightenment wall to counter the walls of hate that have gone up all around us.

These portraits sometimes express a wish and a prayer for more elevated ideas to enter the minds of the powerful. Sometimes they express what public figures are or represent to our culture—a statement of truth.
