A few books I'm reading, and some paintings I'm painting. The irony is not lost on me that I went in for a consultation about an elective surgery, and now, it's turned into a very needed oncology surgery -- all while prepping for this show. It's been a sucky week thus far, and yet I'm… Continue reading Science and Surrealism

Medical Themed Art Show in Cleveland
I'm pleased to announce my next solo show is April 4th at BAYarts! I have been teaching kids classes at the beautiful BAYarts campus in Bay Village for several years now, so I'm really excited to be exhibiting there. This exhibit will depict fun stuff like amputees, ocular prosthesis, virgin goddesses, and maybe a nude… Continue reading Medical Themed Art Show in Cleveland
Forceps, Stethoscopes, and Ivory Babies
What are some of the things I do on weekdays? Well, go to the Dittrick Medical History Center, of course. I'm gearing up for my next solo show, and although I know what I'm going to do as far as the medical history inspiration, one can never have done enough research. For the show my… Continue reading Forceps, Stethoscopes, and Ivory Babies
Me in 2013, My Dad in 1983
My surgeon never calls me unless it is something...important. Bad important. He called me on Monday and said he couldn't explain over the phone, but I had to come in right away to get more x-rays and so he could show me in person what he was talking about. After my MRI that went wrong… Continue reading Me in 2013, My Dad in 1983
Attitude and Cancer? I’ll Take Science
One thing that has irritated me for the past few years is when I get advice or remarks from people about how "mind over matter" or holistic approaches may have/may aid in all the cancer bullshit I've had.I'm currently waiting for my DNA results (no, unlike the movies you have to wait 6 weeks) to… Continue reading Attitude and Cancer?

Ephemeral Antidotes: The Whole Collection
Here's the whole shebang! The opening reception for the show was pretty awesome and the look and feel of the whole thing was highly appropriate at Loved To Death/Articulated Gallery. It was so amazing to have so much family and friends there, not to mention collectors I had yet to meet, and even some old… Continue reading Ephemeral Antidotes: The Whole Collection
Sawed
To hell with it, here's another piece for my show "Ephemeral Antidotes" coming up at Articulated Gallery. This is her little story I wrote as well... "Sawed" 16x20" oil on linen Gretchen An ambassador’s daughter with a passion for collecting, Gretchen’s menagerie was near complete when her father brought her the gift of a leopard… Continue reading Sawed
Beware the Female Imagination
The other night, I learned the origin of this image that has appeared and changed over centuries in Aristotle's Masterpiece. The hairy woman, and the black baby. Although originally having nothing to do with each other aside from illustrating the dangers of maternal imagination, they were together on a single woodcut on accident, and thus,… Continue reading Beware the Female Imagination
Skin of the Fox, Cures the Pox
First of my new series for my solo show at Articulated Gallery.... 16x20" oil on linen
Short Trip to the Museum of Medical History
My friend Dott and I went to the Museum of Medical History on the Case Western Reserve campus. It has hours that are weird, and the rare books section was by appointment (bah) but we are both very fast when it comes to museums so an hour was all we needed. We do plan on… Continue reading Short Trip to the Museum of Medical History
