'CATACOMB HEARTS' ART INSTALLATION
SAINT FORTISSIMA
Patron Saint of Loud
Her hallowed bejeweled guitar transfigures the previously overlooked, the hidden, and the meek, making lions out of lambs.
Pray unto her and sayeth not that girls cannot rock!
SAINT SONIC
Patron Saint of Audiophiles and Sound Engineers
With his Sacred Cigarette and Holy Highball, Saint Sonic rests eternally at his mixing board,
rewarding supplicants with patience and purity of sound...
SAINT AXE
Patron Saint of Guitarists
The Sacred Hand of Saint Axe holds aloft the Gleaming Pick of Piety.
It's beauty blinds evildoers and those who dare to repllicate guitar tracks with a synthesizer.
The Hand of Saint Axe blesses those about to rock.. and salutes them!

Momento Mori-Spring
This painting it the first of an ongoing series currently in process at Modern Druid. It is a celebration of a temporal romance through the seasons representing the universal life and death cycle, beginning with Spring.
Momento Mori is a latin phrase meaning: remember that you have to die. It is about embracing our death everyday so that we may live fully and with a sense of peace.
Through the seasons, we are reminded of the inevitability of change and our undeniable connection to it. This series is timely after a year filled with loss and forced reconcilliation with chaos and entropy. Our connection to the universe can never be diminished.
Dimensions: 27 1/2”W X 48”L framed, painted on prepared wooden panels with acrylic paint.
Three more paintings representing the seasons are expected in this series and the set will be auctioned in 2022.
