The Evolutionist's Wager
"The Evolutionist's Wager," includes elements that represent the island of Galapagos and Darwin and by extension, evolution. The word, "wager," is a deliberate referrence to "Pascal's Wager."

The Making of "Observing Earth"
Today, I am very excited to share my latest creation, The Making of "Observing Earth" through the medium of video (see below). Because Observing Earth has been a "best seller" of mine since 2013, I chose it as the subject for my first video project.
Read MoreThe Testing of Instruments
The picture above is a page from the book, Mechanical Laboratory Methods (Smallwood and Keator, 1931), that I discovered in my very favorite used book store, MacKay’s in Chattanooga, TN. The book, written for Engineering students, begins with the statement, “The science of experimental engineering rests primarily upon the art of measurement. Conclusions relating to general laws or specific operating conditions, formed from test results, stand or fall according to the accuracy of measurements” and they conclude, “there is no such thing as absolute accuracy of measurement except by accident.”

Happy Yoga Day, 2015
The above work is a personal, concept piece I created in 2012 for an imagined yoga studio, called "Facing Dog Yoga." As always, I truly enjoyed the process of creating this piece; and loved the fact that dogs are very good at yoga!
Today is the first international, "Yoga Day" as declaried last December by the United Nations. Yoga, truly, deserves this day. For those who practice it you know already it does not need such a day to affirm value!
Happy Yoga Day to all!
Mulier, Creator
The role of Women in every myth, theology or culture impacts the dynamics of their relationships, laws that address their lives and bodies and the space to be themselves, whether that be religious, artistic or individualistic expression.
The fact that Women posess the power to created human life is undeniable. Dynamics, laws and theologies are often effective in keeping Women “in their place.” However, the true power of Women trandsends.
In these three works, I celebrate Woman, Creator.

Yoga Comes to America
Yoga brings great satisfaction and equal health benefits for those who practice it regularly. In America, the practice of, and popularity of yoga increases every year.
My work above acknowledges TIrumalai Krishnamacharya, who is attributed for popularizing yoga in America. The generousity of his soul and the impact that he has had on my loved ones, as well as many Americans, is not insignifcant.
My work above is my tribute to this great teacher.
