It's always wonderful when a life long collector and friend, commissions a new piece from the most recent series. Thanks to all.
The White King - April 2023
I began The White King in January of 2023. It is an 80" x 24" x 9" amulet made from mixed media on low-fired clay, steel, and nylon cord.
Each amulet takes a great deal of time to create. Each piece is handmade in clay, dried, fired, painted, stained, and/or glazed. Then the clay pieces are aligned and assembled. I worked on The White King for three months. It is heavy on process. A process that I love.
Would you like to see photos of the piece as it progressed? Curious about my process? (more)

Although I will continue making work in The Amulet Series my mixed-media paintings are changing into more abstract ones. This newest work is titled: Onward & Upward. Onward & Upward is a 4'x 4' mixed media work on multi-layered paper. Thank you for following my process as I move forward into both new imagery and formats. ~ Paul

February 2022 - Respite Amulet
I started a new amulet entitled “Respite” about a month and a half ago. The process is always slow going, but very rewarding.
The theme of the amulets has changed over the years, what started out as a testament to grief and loss, slowly changed into a statement of sorts, about finding peace and a sense of security. A Respite from the folly of the world. This new piece personally reflects where I am right about now, finding a safe place to land.
