Good Vibrations 2007 - 28" x 22" Acrylic Paint on Paper Click for Definition I am a deaf person, but I sometimes enjoy music and dancing.

The Star Man 2007 - 10" x 8" Acrylic Paint on Canvas

Deaf Kiss 2007 Acrylic Paint on Canvas Click for Definition This work shows the emotions of different people. I chose the bright colors to show the energy of emotion that pulses through the people. In the center are two people in love, their hearts are connected as one. But a strong relationship depends on more than love, it depends on the support and nurturing of others - both family and friends. x

Brave Girl 2007 - 28" x 22" Acrylic Paint on Canvas Click for Definition Many people look at this picture and laugh because it reminds them of someone after a night of drinking. Not so. This is a portrait of an old fashioned French soldier of Joan-of-Arc like. Eyes look confused with a tear from the eye for the struggling but not give up. Not a perfect person. x

Lovers 2007 - 24" x 18" Acrylic Paint on Canvas

Sending Prayers to Heaven 2007 - 24" x 20" Acrylic Paint on Canvas Click for Definition This picture depicts the various ways people pray. The black figure at the right depicts someone whose prayers are blocked through fear, hatred, or any other shadow upon our soul. The circles of prayer represents our eternal relationship with God. God's eye watches all and the figures' faces match the pattern around God's eye because we are God's children and made in His likeness. I tried to reflect different cultures in the background, such as the Asian red and gold and the Greek togas. Red symbolizes love and gold symbolizes a pure heart, which makes a direct connection with God in their prayers. x

Dream 2 2007 - 10" x 8" Acrylic Paint on Canvas

Worldly Worries 2007 - 18" x 14" Acrylic Paint on Panel Click for Definition Nothing is perfect. Many things are unclear. Things are unraveling. This can be construed as the world or one's self. Earthy colors are used to signify the earth and also murkiness. x

Lost to Another World 2007 - 24" x 20" Acrylic Paint on Panel Click for Definition A green man fell down because he feels lost with fear and worry, not know what he will do. I was sketching the picture then later painted it because I think it was my feelings of fear and worry because I was graduating soon from a deaf school in Rochester. I had attended to this school since I was 15 months old. Things will be a big change. I represent that world as a steady place of black and white. As you can see, I expect a soft landing into my new steady world. The purple denotes the kindness of others. In any transition, the help of others can make the change easier. x

The Secret Life of Plants 2007 - 28" x 22" Acrylic Paint on Canvas Click for Definition All plants: flowers, tree, and grasses, help to keep the world alive and well.

Plants keep the world cooler, provide food and shelter for humans and animals, and make the world a more beautiful place. That is the secret (and humble) way of plants. x

Smoking 2007 - 24" x 20" Acrylic Paint on Canvas Click for Definition The green and blue face represents the world as it was (blue) and now, after pollution (green, as in sickness). The cigarette represents man-made pollutants. The Red Man being sucked in by the cigarette symbolizes human-kind being drowned in their own toxic waste. Unfortunately, many innocents also suffer. x

Crying Mountain 2007 - 24" x 20" Acrylic Paint on Canvas Click for Definition The sky is red hot. The big problem today is global warming.

Three Angels and the Ghost 2007 - 28" x 22" Acrylic Paint on Canvas Click for Definition The ghost is my father who died on November 16, 2004 at the age of 53 from a heart attack.

He hovers above the wooden female and male waiting for a weakness. The wooden people raise their hands for Satan to stand on them as the white evil gives away his energy to a planet. The door with the ying-yang symbol represents the door to good or evil. The narrower door to the left leads to the universe. x
