Snake Sky
Snake Sky won an honorable mention at an art center competition.
The piece measures 15 inches across, is set in a loose cement mixture,
and is extremely sensuous. An actual snake skin found in Stone County
winds through the piece and has begun to skeletonize. Rusting barbed
wire arches across the top of the piece. An arrowhead and feathers are included
along with a plastic moon and sparkling stars (which indeed sparkle when
candle light strikes them). This primitive landscape needs protection
from the elements.

Raku Night
Raku Night was included in the 2009
Governor's Mansion Association Calendar and also in the
2008 Celebrating Arkansas Artists Exhibit
in Senator Pryor's Rivermarket office.
The piece is actually a triptych, and currently
hangs as such in its new home in a private residence
in Little Rock. However, when the deadline came to enter
it into the competitions, I was refiring one piece, so
only had these two parts for the image. I'm so glad it won anyway!
