Animal Cases

The Eye Con - 22”x30” - I was able to capture a peacock trying to impress mates who are attracted to his eyes. The males will shake their tail feathers to confuse peahens, an attempt to trick the ladies into thinking they have more than they actually possess. Sometimes that is also the case for humans. Prints Available

WHAM! BAM! THANK YOU CLAM! - 18”x24” - Hot out of the oven, seven quahogs radiate liquid golds and chili pepper reds.  They rest on a tray that hovers over a mesmerizing and curious background of simple lines and dark colors, dichotomous to the irregular shapes and complex textures of the shells. 

The bivalves draw you.  Then, the edges of the shellfish take you on a gradual swirl around a mysterious space.  

The Phoenix of Chesapeake - 14’x25’, 17”x31”, The mural and painting are for the Chesapeake Walmart, the location that experienced a tragic mass shooting last November. The artwork includes iconic elements of the City of Chesapeake (Jordan Bridge over calm water, a majestic blue heron taking flight, and a vibrant garden of black-eyed Susans). All are aglow by a setting sun that reflect strength, rejuvenation, and connection.

“The Selection Committee” - 22”x22” In the lobby of an America smorgasbord resides a claw-crane vending machine that is impossible to ignore. The contraption houses an array of all-you-can-eat colors, tones, and textures.

“The worlds inside and out of the glass box, are similar. Both are filled with squeezable characters, animals, monsters, and heroes. All of us want to be wanted, need to be needed, and sewn to help and comfort one another. We all internally shout ’Pick Me! Pick Me!’” ——— Charlie Frances
