New Eyes: Twilight

​New eyes awaken.
I send Love's name into the world with wings
And songs grow up around me like a jungle.
Choirs of all creatures sing the tunes
Your Spirit played in Eden.
Zebras and antelopes and birds of paradise
Shine on the face of the abyss
And I am drunk with the great wilderness
Of the sixth day in Genesis.

​-Thomas Merton

These things - the beauty, the memory of our own past are good images of what we really desire....For they are not the thing itself, they are only the scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune we have not heard, news from a country we have never yet visited. 

- C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory

I created this lamp during a Beginning Welding class with Sal St. Germain at the Morean Arts Center in St. Petersburg FL. The base is welded steel and aluminum and the lampshade is encaustic mixed media.

The Character Vine

I created this piece (pictured far left) to celebrate the 100th year anniversary of my high school alma mater, The Stony Brook School, located in Stony Brook, NY.

The piece is made from SBS yearbooks, one from each decade of the school's inception. The "teddy bear vine" is a nod to Stony Brook's current mascot (the Bears) and symbolizes the growth and transformational power of the Stony Brook School's Christian formation. The nesting birds are shrikes, a previous mascot of the school. The shape of the vine is inspired by the school's centennial logo - instead of the cupola of the chapel in the center, images of Stony Brook students, faculty and staff experiencing SBS life take center stage. In addition to featuring yearbooks from each decade of the school's history, it also has parts of Bruce Lockerbie's book "The Way They Should Go", written in 1972 about the school's history and mission for its 50th anniversary.

The back of the piece features a torn/glazed collage of yearbook photos of teachers and students from over the school's 100 years (pictured above).

​Life is precious. Not because it is unchangeable, like a diamond, but because it is vulnerable like a little bird.
