Ara Pacis Series II
These large geometric masses
of color span entire walls. They
are paintings of richly colored,
oil paint and wood dowels, on
shaped canvas. On their own,
they look sculptural and
3-dimensional, but they mount
flat on the wall and sometimes
even onto the floor. Underlying
layers of color show through
skins of multiple glazes.

They seemingly defy gravity and
appear to exist in a boundless space.
Several works are shown only in
the drawing stage.
