Newspapers in Action Feature

In late November, NIE did a Sunday feature on my recent works and how being an alumni of Florida Atlantic University (Go Owls) has affected me and my career.  We were so flattered by the write up, we included it on the web site.

I was involved with some mural work as well as faux finishing in what is probably the coolest room of the house.

Acrylic 36 x 30<br/><br/>The Matriarch, who can live up to 80 years or more, is the leader of the Orca family unit. Accompanied by up to four generations beneath her, it is her responsibility to respond to changes in the condition of life that can change from year to year. She bases her decisions on her experiences and knowledge of the past to insure her family's longevity.
Calusa Spirit<br> 12" x 18"<br> Acrylic on Masonite<br> 2010<br> <br> This piece was created as a tribute to Miko, a Short Tailed Hawk who was rescued, after a gunshot wound, here at Apopka's Avian Reconditioning Center. Miko is named for the Calusa Indian Chief. I chose to create his portrait on a distressed wood background, depicting a ceremonial Calusa wooden mask. <br> Miko's full story can be viewed at http://www.adoptabird.org/miko.html
Acrylic 40 x 30<br/><br/>I've always been captivated by Florida's history. It is very intriguing, if not downright colorful. One such story involves the famous Barefoot Mailman - James E. Hamilton in particular. <br/><br/> From 1886 to approximately 1893 the Barefoot Mailmen insured the delivery of mail from Jupiter Inlet to Miami - a stretch of land only accessible by beach. These men averaged thirty miles a day, making a full trip every six days. They fed off of the land from turtle eggs and fish to rainwater and coconut milk. Delivering in scorching sun, high winds, rain, and even hurricanes. The mail always got through. Except for one day. <br/><br/> On October 11, 1887, feeling ill the night before, James Hamilton, 32, left the Orange Grove House of Refuge (now Delray Beach) bound for Miami. Arriving at Hillsboro Inlet, he noticed that his skiff had been moved to the other side. Intending to retrieve the boat, he left his mailbag and clothes on the shore. He never made it to the other side, nor was he ever seen again. A plaque honoring Hamilton now sits on this spot at the base of the Hillsboro Lighthouse in Pompano Beach. <br/><br/> No one quite knows what happened that day. Was the current too strong? Were alligators responsible? We may never know, but one things remains. Stop and look at footprints in the sand. One can still feel the presence of the Barefoot Mailmen making their trek down that lonely stretch of beach they we, as Floridians call home. <br/><br/> *My thanks to the Deerfield Beach Historical Society for their cooperation.
