I've made it easier for people wanting to purchase a fine-art print to do that. You'll now find a small selection of my work at the online art store Imagekind. Imagekind provides a selection of paper and (optional) framing options, and ships internationally. Some images are also available as greeting cards. And of course, if you're looking for something you don't see there, or for something in a different size than Imagekind provides, or for printing done under my personal supervision, please feel free to contact me!

One day last December, as I was walking through my living room,
the walls around me and the floor under my feet and the ceiling above my head
and all the furnishings began to fade, became insubstantial
and very nearly disappeared ...



Thanks to Greg at Utata for commissioning and publishing my article Woman With Rooms , about the creation of my piece rooms with woman , the finished version of which can currently be seen on this site.

If you find that article of interest, you might also be interested in Bryan Partington's thoughts on it, in his column Rules of a Room .
