2018 Eruption started May3
An awe-inspiring natural and powerful event ends in contemplation and disaster for those who lost homes, land, communities and uncertainties of their future living on the edge of an active volcano, Kilauea. Kilauea is one of the worlds most active volcanoes. Kilauea is Pele's home.
We see our Earth in motion. And no one knows what's next.

After Darkness, Light Returns. Being in the Moon's shadow. A Total Solar Eclipse is immersive, humbling, awesome, amazing, magical, surreal, profound, intense, powerful, and cosmic! Mythology and folklore of this universal phenomenon often describe it as frightening and unsettling for peoples throughout cultures, history, and time, trying to give reason for the unnatural darkness when the sun disappears and day is plunged into night revealoing planets and stars during the day. Animals become agitated, quiet, sounds intensify and temperatures drop as the shimmering corona of the sun is exposed in all its glory. A beautiful sight to behold. Magically, light follows dark giving us place in the Universe.
Produced in HD Video and 360/Virtual Reality.

"Four Elements" Art Exhibition, San Pablo Art Gallery, California
Three Artist Show (2019)
The works on view in this "4 Elements" exhibition reflect the artists' creative processes as concrete media for expressing what they feel and see in the natural world
and our place in it. In observing the earth and oceans, the sky and stars from each of their individaul perspectives the artists come to the shared themes of
earth, water, air, fire which speak of change and transformation happning on our planet and within ourselves. Ephemerally captured and recorded changes of light
in natural environments
are represented in digital forms and imagry, while Virtual Reality places the viewer in the center looking out - a conduit touching and reaching
beyond the body - a bridge between the real and virtual to experience our Earth in motion.
