Shells Original and Prints/Tiles Available This series of shells is inspired by and dedicated to people who have lost their homes through natural disasters or wars. The broken shells are a reminder of the fragility of homes and to remember that the animal whose home this once was is no longer living. The insides are painted in warm colors to evoke the creature who made the shell. The structures of the shells resonates with patterns in nature and the universe.

Things in Nests Original and Prints/Tiles Available Things you don't expect to see in nests depicts animals and other things that don't ordinarily live in nests in unlikely places, such as a platypus in a pear tree. This is a commentary on global warming and climate change. Both the shell and nest series are meant to make the viewer think about what and where is home and where will we live if our world is changed. This is particularly relevant to my home on the Florida Keys as we are subject to frequent hurricanes and first in line to be submerged when sea level rises as expected in the not-too-distant future.
