"Static Electricity" (Acrylic, 22" x 24")
Have you ever entered a room and it fairly crackles with energy? I call that "static electricity." And I find that sometimes it is so powerful that it almost knocks me over...or sends me running (or watching my back)... At other times, it is more subtle, sparking just under the surface. Heed the intuition when you feel that surge... It could be our subconscious picking up on vibes beyond our comprehension.

Visual arts exhibit produced by Brazilian and French curators explores the beauty and the challenges of the environment
Paris, October 9th, 2015 – “Terra” (earth) - one of the four elements of nature - is the inspiration for a visual arts exhibit that will be held at Artitude Gallery in Paris, from October 19th to 25th, 2015. The vernissage is scheduled for Monday, October, 19th at 6pm.
Through the work of artists from different nationalities, "EARTH" will display the beauty and the challenges of the environment, featuring paintings, sculptures and photographs inspired by nature.
The show is produced by a partnership between the galleries Artitude, in Paris, and Saphira & Ventura, in New York, and is curated by the Brazilians Alcinda Saphira and Louis Ventura and the French Jean Pierre Lorriaux.
