30" x 20" This photograph was taken during an assignment for VOGUE magazine in 1965. The model, Lisa, found herself enchanted by the solitude within the chiffon fabric. She is both peaceful, and sensual hidden within the material, and herself. Artes print, $5500. |

Oil on Canvas 48" x 36" This was painted in 1998. It was an experiment for me, vis-à-vis, the subject's secret sensuality mixed with her spirituality. It reminds me of an 'out-of-body' experience that she seems to undergo. She floats in a reverie of grace. Sold |

20" x 20" First published in "INFINITY," the magazine of the American Society of Magazine Photographers (1965), this painting was part of my "Caul" series. Caul represents the placenta, the thin membrane that holds the fetus, and is often called the afterbirth. In some societies it is considered a good omen to be born within an unbroken placenta. This painting exudes the innocence of a newborn baby. Artes print, $5500. |

27" x 24" This is one of my photographs from the 60's. Through computer technology, I combined it with a small panel from a painting I did last year. The end result is a contemporary vision of female beauty within the caul. Artes Print, $5500. |

"Carmella"
18" x 24"
I photographed this model during a break
while on a fashion assignment, circa 1964.
I asked her to pose with the "caul"
(a piece of chiffon material replicating the placenta).
The resulting image is beautiful.
She is WOMAN in all her innocence and perfection.
Artes print, $5000.

20" x 14" I shot this photograph in the early 90's, when I began experimenting with couples posing within the "caul". The result was extraordinarily erotic and appealing. It depicts the magnificence of their love, and they seem to be transported into another place. Artes Print, $5000. |

27" x 24" This is derived from a photographic session in the early 1990's. This model felt fear and panic when encased in the material. She was on edge and extremely claustrophobic. It was an unusual reaction, and I found it very poignant. Artes Print, $5000. |

27" x 24" A very recent photograph that is actually three exposures in one. It was as if she was having a metaphysical experience while within the material. She wanted to stay entangled, and I was fascinated by her reaction. Salon Print, $5000. |

"Embrace-Lying"
Oil on Canvas
50" x 78"
This couple was painted as if they were floating on air,
wrapped in each other and their love.
It is sensual and beautiful.
I painted this piece in the fundamental style
of the romantic era of painters in Italy, but
with a decidedly contemporary mood.
It causes the onlooker to become part of the ambience
of their very private moment.
Original $30,000.
