White Deer: Rites of Passage Trailer I
"Like Alice in Wonderland, a girl must face the fears standing between her, and who she’s becoming."
This early experimental trailer showcases some highlights of White Deer: Rites of Passage. A graphic novel, an animated film, a symphonic musical soundtrack, an art exhibition, a communal dialogue, and now a potential immersive dome show!
All these creative parts synergistically compliment each other. Using immersive dome technology, the story becomes a ritual for the subconscious, inviting us to ask: Who am I, and who am I becoming? It gently reminds us that the challenges of growing up—especially for girls transitioning from childhood to adolescence, can become allies that strengthen our inner resolve.
Join the dialogue and support this epic art project. Every month I present a Zoom session where I share the evolution of the story, art, animation and music, along with interviews of interesting people. Sign up for my newsletter to learn more.
Fearless Painting

I am teaching two classes, EXPERIMENTAL PAINTING TECHNIQUE I and II that will take the mystery out of making art with paint whether it is abstract or representational. Explore art techniques utilizing acrylic paints, coffee, oil paints and more. Demonstrations, with emphasis on student experimentation.
I used most of these techniques for many of my illustration commissions.
EXPERIMENTAL PAINTING TECHNIQUE I: Thursday, July 2, 12PM - 3PM
EXPERIMENTAL PAINTING TECHNIQUE II and Friday, July 3, 12PM - 3PM
Materials List will be supplied.
