“After spring rains, live oaks sprout beautiful, mist saturated
leaves, which sparkle in the dawning sun’s rays as I take
my early morning race-walk. Rain’s Rays is my effort to

of gold on sterling accented by pearls and strands of seed

“This piece is the first of a series of that combines two modes
of work: the classic busts and the open-book motif. In this piece

whispering in the muse’s ear, while the book depicts the quite
bittersweet sputtering sound of a dying insect’s wings.”
