It is important to mention to you, the viewer, that it really isn’t possible to show the Creation Series to it’s fullest in a photograph. This body of work requires viewing in person.  Because the series incorporates rock salt into the painting, the attributes of the salt are not understood completely here.  The work is expressive and almost three dimensional as the salt has married itself in it’s rock form to the paper.  This creates a stunning sparkling effect that cannot be captured by camera.  Each piece is an original one-of-a-kind work of art.
