An earthy commission piece. Acrylic on stretched canvas, 16″x20″ titled “Strength & Light.”
A recent commission piece: An East Coast fall/autumn scene, large rock boulder and trees turning color, with blue & grey sky behind.
A recent commission piece: A blue & gold sunset, abstract, with impasto effect.
A couple weeks ago I painted this wave piece, full of thick texture and complimentary colors, blending the sunset’s warmth into the ocean coolness. It is a 24″x30″ acrylic on stretched canvas. Here are pictures of the process from start to finish. The piece is currently located at MoSa’s Joint Restaurant in Tamuning, Guam.
Going for something a little different, and very colorful. This piece is maybe halfway done… My easel right now:
She Dances. This piece is inspired by many photos I’ve come across of beautiful belly dancers, with their sensual movements and eye-catching outfits. Black and gold has always been a color combination that I love, and decided to use it for this piece. 11″x14″ acrylic on stretched canvas.
Creative Sessions are held every 1st Saturday of the month at Guma’ Tasa in Mangilao, Guam, from 9-11am. Fee is $30 and includes all acrylic painting supplies. We had a good time, here are photos from this month’s session:
I’ve been meaning to paint another rooster (or known better on Guam as Gåyu), so I whipped up this piece two days ago.
Painted this Moonlit Sea piece last week, as I felt like following the flow of the rainy grey weather. When life gets you down, just keep creating.
Working on another Spirit Tree, I love doing these!! A part of me wants to keep this piece, but it isn’t meant for me… Here are photos of the process from start to finish, plus shots of the piece delivered to its new (beautiful) home.
This month’s Creative Session at Guma’ Tasa was a nice chill one. I decided to experiment with creating a painting with a stained glass look. I also played with a lot of water. My creative session partners were painting a sculpture, a multi-piece gift for someone, landscape and more. =)
Went into painting mode today, and finished these two pieces, a colorful abstract wave, and the guåsali flower native to Guam. Had fun using my palette knife, it’s been awhile since I’ve played with these tools. Creative experimentation… The abstract wave is 16″x20″ and the Guåsali is 24″x24″ and both will be available for sale.

Here are some tidbits from this past Creative Session at Guma’ Tasa. For some strange reason I didn’t get pics of the lovely creations made by Jody and her daughter! I was in a zone that day. =)
I’m just going to let the photos of the paintings do the talking for this post.
Here is the field segment of the video project I am working on with James Davis, a local filmmaker, cinematographer, & director here on Guam. He offered to collaborate on a mini documentary on me and my art. This painting was done/inspired by the fields of Talofofo, down on the Malojloj side of Guam.
So as I have mentioned before, fine art portrait painting and other technical art are not my expertise or preference. However, I have been challenging myself to take on more and try to improve in this area. I had a request for a painting based on a photo taken by Frank Henshaw of the lovely …
So I am currently collaborating with a local filmmaker and director James Davis creating a short documentary clip of me as an artist. I’ve been on video many times, but I’m still mortified every time I see/hear myself. The cool thing is getting to see the process of gathering footage and putting things together. It’s …
Earthy Spiral” My favorite thing to paint… spirals… they are like meditation for me. This one has an earthy textured feel. 16″x20″ acrylic on stretched canvas
Say that 5 times fast. =) “Painting Photo Shoot Session.” I would like to thank our lovely local photographers Jolynn Redmond and Frank Henshaw for dropping in on today’s Creative Session at Guma’ Tasa. Lovely to see you both and invite you to experience the day from an artist’s perspective. Thanks for getting right in …
