Evacuating the studio on July 19th 2020 -
This summer has flown by. Just 6 weeks ago it was necessary to evacuate a flock of my largest Amazar Avians from my studio and keep them cooped in the car till the forest fire, just over the mountain, was contained. Gathering my Avians together and a few important tools from my studio was something I didn't think twice about. They, along with my computer and a few changes of clothing were items I didn’t want to risk loosing.
They nested nicely, filling most of RAV4's rear cargo area without a peep of discomfort.
All are now safely perched around the house waiting their appearance at my Open Door Studio showcase in September 19th & 20th.
Contact me for details.
Spreading The Message
From another dimension in the multiverse, a realm known as Amazar, an extraordinary species of Avians have existed for eons. Families of these Avians have roamed the cosmos discreetly visiting Earth to help those in need by bringing healing energy, love, peace, and goodwill wherever they appear.They’ve returned in response to desperate cries for help from the planet and its creatures. Flying through a portal in a Colorado artist’s mountain studio to offer assistance and hope. Their goal is to bring people together, promote a more harmonious balance to the planet and help ease the pain and suffering of all.
Have you seen them yet?
My newest exhibition piece in the June 2020 show at 40 West Arts gallery in Denver “Spreading the Message” sets the stage to stimulate a series of virtural stories involving the viewer.
The sculpture challenges viewers to craft their own tales encompassing these three 3 visual elements.
“Evinkara the Wise” – An extraordinary Amazar Avian
“Over the Mountains” - A Forever Garden Wall Landscape
“Rainbow Beak Avian” – An Amazar Avian flying messenger
People are loving the concept and the response has been great.
Why Amazar Crystal Power Wands?
Wands are magical, mysterious & filled with wonder. Their use dates back to the dawn of time. Their powers attune to the person who wields them. Wands awaken our potential to be conscious co-creators. With a caring, heart-felt aspiration to bring goodness into the world, users can empower themselves and others to fulfill their greatest dreams.

Dozens of Crystal and Rainbow Beak Avians, Azure Blue Peacekeepers, Owlish Sages, Gifted Empaths Empara and Long Beak Hummers, promoting healing vibrations and the healing of the planet and all it’s inhabitants welcomed Studio visitors. The energy given off by my creations definitely had an effect on people as they interacted with my work and listened to my Amazar Tales.

Fascinating creatures birds. So many varieties exist on earth yet we still know so little about them and their relationship with humans throughout history except through myth and legend.
Read moreThe Concept of Creative Reuse
In recent years art shows across the country have sprung up featuring the concept of Creative ReUse, which holds that that by converting refuse into artwork, the discarded trash can acquire a new aesthetic. And in turn, open the conversation that the resulting artwork can take on moral and conceptual dimensions.

My Amazar Avian series of leather sculptures has been evolving, getting larger, more complex and receiving great reviews from collectors. Visitors to www.amazaravian.world are discovering tales told of legions of Amazar Avians who flew to earth from a realm deep within the multi-fold dimensions of time and space.
As the legend continues to unfold in an evolving series of amazing leather sculptures, 3D landscapes and a series of stories and fables known as Amazar Tales. it’s time to take the next step to enable my fans to fully experience the magical world of Amazar Avians and help spread it’s message.
I am now looking for galleries in the greater Denver area to host an installation/exhibition sometime the second half of 2019 or early 2020 where visitors can view, interact with, hear and discover stories about the amazing world of Amazar Avians and adopt an Amazar Avian of their choice. The exhibit will be populated by dozens of different Amazar Avian Species, Forever Gardens, multi-dimensional landscapes and other sculptural creatures that have been brought to life using repurposed/recycled vintage leathers, found objects and sacred crystals while Avian bird sounds chirp and vibrate through the exhibition space.
As an award winning artist/sculptor, arts educator and author I have exhibited professionally in juried exhibitions and galleries for more than 50 years focusing on creating residential sculptures and art for public spaces that incorporate recycled and repurposed materials. This current series of leather sculptures is something I’ve been developing over the past 5 years and has been evolving nicely in concept and scale. The response to the concept and current work has been wonderful.
I’m now seeking opportunities to meet with gallery owners and exhibit curators to show them pieces from my Amazar Avian series and discuss the possibilities.
Help spread the message and encourage others to discover the world of Amazar Avians.
Thanks

The Origin & Mission of the Amazar Avians
… a flock of Avians have now chosen to make themselves known on planet earth in response to desperate cries for help from the earth itself. They felt a surge in the frequency of meditative energies sent forth by those looking to bring about a more harmonious balance to the planet and to ending the pain and suffering threatening to destroy it.
Read moreThe Dream
Many years ago on a winter’s day that began like many others on our mountain, the Colorado sun rose along the Front Range with a butterscotch glow piercing the clouds in a spectacular array of crimson shards against a rich blue velvet sky. A slight frost glistened on the pines while a fine layer of opal snowpack lingered in patches along the road that meandered up to my home.
Remnants of a strange dream lingered as I warmed my hands around a cup of spiced Chai. Skipping breakfast, I made my way down to my art studio to clear scraps and remnants of recycled leather off my workbench and think about the form and context of my next creations.
My most recent Leather Landscapes and sculptural Forever Gardens were evolving nicely, flowing forth from my imagination as if guided by some sixth sense while I cut, deconstructed and sorted segments of discarded vintage leather clothing I had rescued. As I gazed about my “Unbound Leathers” studio at piles of old leather jackets, bundles of wires and bins of strange found objects that had caught my fancy, my hands were drawn to an odd assortment of components demanding to be plucked from their hiding places and deposited on the workbench I had yet to clear off.
I’m blessed that my workbench allows a view out floor to ceiling windows, across a small garden and our narrow gravel driveway to the mountains beyond, the valley below and acres of pine forest. As the morning mist gives way and the sun travels across the valley delightful patterns, mysterious shadows, sights and sounds emerge from the ever-changing landscape. To my delight, I often find myself face to face with Deer and Elk who roam around up here at 8,000 ft., stopping by daily to munch at our gardens, nibble at the Aspen leaves and seasonal berries. Occasionally a grey, black, brown or grey fox will stop to stare at me while I’m working and stay a while, allowing me to slip outside, say hello and engage in a bit of conversation before he or she continues their travels. Throughout the day birds of all sizes, shapes and colors roost in the pines, soar across the valley, call out their songs and scavenge the forest floor for tasty treats. But somehow this day there seemed to be something more going on.
As I sat savoring my Chai and the view beyond, I let my thoughts drift back to that dream and a story began to evolve that would shape the direction of my artwork and set me on path to a grand adventure.
