Here are a few assorted works of various body interests- internal structures, body energy, and the connection of body with nature.

I appreciate the artists who have created wonderful informative paintings of the internal structures of the body which I have learned from. I used this book for reference in some of the works above.

Flow and Body

Flow and Body (front and back views), Paint on Acetate over Black Paper, 22 x 14 in., 2007
________________________________________

As promised and now that I have good pics, here is a piece painted in the past few weeks. The figure and white flowing curving form are painted on acetate, or shiny plastic. For the purpose of creating a digital image, the painting on acetate is displayed on black paper so that it may be easily seen. The piece would normally be displayed without the black paper so that both sides can be viewed by walking around the art. So both sides are shown above.

I know I have much to say about this work.. but for now I'd rather let the work speak for itself.



This artwork or laser copies can be purchased - see my complete profile for contact info. and email me for details.

An Energy Body

An Energy Body (Front and Back views), Paint, Ink and Collage Element on Plexiglas, 8 x 5 inches, 2007
_________________________________

This is one of many artworks I am making on Plexiglas now, so they have 2 sides that can be viewed. This one has a collaged or cut out printed image of a body with internal structures. As I like to do, I transform that "physical" body to an "energy" body on the other side of the piece. Maybe this is healing... definitely expanding awareness to energy.

This is kind of a quick sketch, I am working on more in depth works now.. I'll post more of these kind of 2-sided works when I get good pics!

Energy Man

Energy Man, 14 x 10 in., Paint and ink on paper, 2006

____________________________________________________________
This work represents a shift in focus from the physical body to the energetic body in my work. Within this piece, both are "visible".

I wanted to get beyond the body in this artwork.

I've had a drive, an urge and a craving to experience life.

Now I am concerned with the energy of life which I've experienced in many ways, among them are unexplainable feelings, ideas, intuitions. I've been fortunate enough to meet and learn from many people who have taught me about what is beyond the world of labels for muscles and measurements for body parts.
I have recorded and urged on my own awareness of the energy of life through my art. I would like to share some of my experience with others through my artwork.

(Clicking on the image will bring up a much improved image.)

Enjoy!
