The object isn't to make art, it's to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable.
Robert Henri
The power of the suggestive is much greater than the statement of reality.

I AM nothing WITHOUT MY EYES!

Hi, thanks for dropping by! This is just a site to pull together the various things I’ve created over the years, almost exclusively through the use of my eyes. It’s not an e-commerce site, just a portfolio. Things that I have for sale can be seen in our gallery in Oaxaca. But if you do see something that that you would like to purchase, original or print, drop me a line and I’ll get back to you.
I want to reassure you that when I state that “I am nothing without my eyes,” I am talking about myself only. I don’t think that visually impared human beings are worthless or that they don’t have rich and fulfilling lives. I mean that just about everything I value in life I experience through my eyes. At this stage of life, I can’t imagine how I could survive the loss of my eyesight.








After working in watercolor for a few years, I somehow got it into my head that oils get more respect in the art world so I started playing with them. I fell in love with the work of Richard Schmid, Kevin MacPherson, and C.W. Mundy.
The process of oil painting, and more the smells of it took me back to my childhood at mother’s side watching her paint and sitting for a portrait.
In the year I took to close up shop in the U.S. and move to Oaxaca, I somehow became interested in video as an interesting pastime and way to document my life in Oaxaca.
Doing these short videos has given me a great appreciation for the movie maker’s craft, and for why it’s so expensive to make one.
My first camera was a basic Kodak loaded with black and white film which I carried with me when my grandmother took my middle brother and me on a heritage tour of Washington D.C. and Philadelphia when I was 11y.o. There were a lot of shots of things from a distance, including a speck of a hawk.
Later my big brother returned from Viet Nam with a bunch of Pentax cameras. When I lived in South America in my early 20’s I had one with me. I’ve always used them since, a Spotmatic, K-1000, ME Super, K-20D, K-7, K-5, and a K-3.
My photo library has around 10,000 images. Don’t worry, I won’t inflict them all on you.

In a flash, the left wing quit flying before the right wing did, dropping first, flipping me upside down, and putting the plane into a spin.
