Florida, Remembered
in Dreams

Original oil paintings. A surrealist study of Florida, memory, time and the unstable boundary between the recognizable and the impossible.

A Florida beach at sunset beneath an enormous melting orange sun: a glass walkway, flamingos, seashells and a clock melting over an orange.

Where Time Came to Rest

A personal homage to Dalí in the city where his legacy found an American home: the clock melts, while the shell remains.

What happens when an artistic influence becomes part of your own language rather than something you merely admire?

The Key to the Oldest City

Fort, sentry, key and shell become a meditation on colonial possession, access to the Americas and the coast that predates every claim.

Can a place ever truly belong to those who arrive carrying the key?

Artificial Paradise

Miami becomes both real tropical landscape and a deliberately manufactured fantasy of paradise.

Why do we work so hard to manufacture paradise when nature already created it?

The Memory of Paradise

The most believable Florida exists inside a fractured mirror while the world outside it becomes increasingly impossible.

Do we remember places as they were, or as we needed them to be?

Where the Pelicans Return

A straight pier and circling pelicans place human progress beside the recurring rhythms of nature.

Do we really move forward, or do we spend our lives circling the places that formed us?

The Museum Dreams of the Sea

Inspired by St. Petersburg’s Dalí Museum, architecture and coastline dissolve into one another like two containers of memory.

What remains of an artist after the artist is gone?

The Coast Refused a Straight Line

A rigid pier begins surrendering its straight line to a coastline that refuses to remain engineered.

Do we shape the landscape, or does the landscape eventually reshape everything we build upon it?
