Due to the Corona Virus Pandemic, I had to cancel my art exhibit at the facility where it was to be held in 2020. So, I put together a virtual art exhibit titled "Feathers & Fur".  This is an exhibit of exotic birds and fur animals I created in soft pastels. All artwork is 24"x36" in size. Enjoy!

With Mother's Day coming up a mother inquired if I'd do the honor of creating a  portrait of her daughter who is now a mother herself for Mother's Day. 
This is an 18"x24", soft pastel and charcoal portrait. The portrait is titled, Tiffany's Mother's Day.

Many songs created can have a special meaning to people. The woman in the portrait is a local jazz singer name Jacquie Richardson. The song she is most requested to sing is written by George Gershwin. The song is called "Summer Time". Jacquie paid me a visit last summer and I was awe struck by the way wore her jean fedora to shade the sun from her eyes that I asked her to pose for me so that I could capture that special occasion. This is an 18"x24" soft pastel pencil portrait created on tinted pastel paper.

With the expansion of technology everyone has to jump on-board when it comes to communication, Seniors Citizens included. Imagine to my surprised to get this request from Mr. Brian Ross to create a portrait of himself taking a selfie! This portrait is created with soft pastel pencils on 24"x36" drawing paper.

During the onset of the 2020 Corona Virus Pandemic I wanted to express how it was affecting me mentally seeing my loved ones being stricken by the virus and how the whole norm of the world is being affected. I believe we all began to value life a little more and drew closer to our loved ones. With that said, to create a portrait to remember those who have lost their lives due to this virus and to remember those in the healthcare field who selflessly stand on the front-line to assist the patients fighting through this virus, I created this art piece titled, Wings of an Angel.

Wings of an Angel

Time redeemed was recreated in representation of the various aspects of bondage that holds one captive. This captivity can be in the mind, body, or spirit.  The bars which are set as the sands in an hour glass reflects time that has gone by and is running out. The crumbling of the handcuff represents the freedom from the bondage which can take years represented by the crumbling of the chain. The open cuff is the actual freeing and opened hand is the releasing or redemption.
