For my second show at the Saul Alexander Gallery I created two new series. The first of the two, 'Off the Wall', is composed of mixed media works based upon photographs taken in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico and Charleston, SC. The primary imagery is that of old buildings, walls and doorways. As with most of my artwork, this series is an attempt to isolate images seldom seen as art and find beauty in the everyday.

The second series, 'Boxcar Graffiti', consists of works on canvas in acrylic and pencil. These pieces are based on photographs taken in the Charleston trainyards. It is my hope that through these works, and those in the first series, a change in our perception of the world will take place and we can all begin to find some grace in the mundane and neglected.
