Disappearing Journal entry

"Contemplation is always a revolutionary act." --Beverly Lanzetta, from Radical Wisdom

Anything, visible or invisible, may be contemplated. However, some things tend to draw the contemplative eye more closely than others. My artwork, and this website, are created with this in mind, out of a meditative intention for all viewers. You will find here both visual work and poetry.

On this page you may see an entry from my "Disappearing Journal" and a geometric study. The header is from the "Whisper" Series. You will find these, with more examples of my work, in the Gallery of Visual Art.

I am happy to announce the release of two new self published books. Both are short stories, illustrated with drawings. The first is called The Hermitage. It's the story of a unique building. It can be perused and purchased here: https://www.blurb.com/b/8940244-the-hermitage


The second book is called The Sphere of Life. It is the story of a young child prodigy, with examples of her ballpoint ink drawings. You can find it here: https://www.blurb.com/b/9422771-the-sphere-of-life

Until 2016 I was a professor of art at The Art Institutes International, Minnesota, in downtown Minneapolis, for nearly 15 years. I taught college art for 26 years. Here is a video that two of my students created when they interviewed me for their Digital Editing class.
