Here, humor unmasks the holiness of ordinary things, thus transforming them into objects of veneration in the Church of the Commonplace: a shoe stranded under the bed; a homemade birthday cake on the table; ice cream cones, both innocent and magic, like babies. These paintings are available as originals, and as fine-art prints on paper or wrapped canvas.

These mixed-media paintings begin simply with paint on a brush or a scrap of paper, and they build, layer upon layer, to become places I haven’t known before. They celebrate the mystery and comedy of ordinary life.
