In terms of drawing, it's been a fruitful spring and summer. I had my very first residency this spring at the Saltonstall Art Colony in Ithaca, NY, a beautiful and peaceful place.
I LOVED having a large bright studio! There, I continued to work on two interrelated mandala series- the "geometric" and the "organic". Recent works from this (and last) year have finally been posted.
I even made some 3D mandalas for the open studio.
Several pieces from the Enantiodromia series and earlier works from the 2000's are now hanging on the walls of the office of Penn Plaza Dental Center, located at 2 Penn Plaza, New York, NY (212) 736-0670
What's next?
More drawings- larger mandalas, and I'm looking for places to show them. Also, I am looking into self-publishing a book of the Geometric Mandalas.

Blurb:
The material world is a facade of commercial illusions that are driven by esoteric principles. We live in a “Disney like world” which mask the real principles which literally shape the world. These principles are described in the teachings of numerous ancient mystery cults such as the Eleusians, the cult of Mithra, as well as the teachings of Plato and Pythagoris.
Our select artists illustrate these hidden concepts. Some work with the concept of the macrocosm/microcosm (Robin Storey), some work in the concepts of idolatry and psychological control (Adel Souto), some work with the concepts of idolatry and psychological control through media, (Leonardo Casas), some work with the concepts of technology that drive nature (Anne Percoco), some work with the concepts of sacred geometry (Camille Laoang), and some work with the allegorical meanings behind ancient symbolisms and text (Robert L. Pepper).

About the exhibition- During a visit to a library a few years ago, I wandered into the children’s section where I spotted some strips of light grey paper and a bowl of colorful circular confetti sitting on the librarian’s desk. They were obviously supplies for making bookmarks. Inspired, I took some home and made a few. Then, I kept making them. This exhibition includes a few of the earliest bookmarks made using that grey cardstock, but then shows how I was quickly inspired to branch out and explore other possibilities within this specific format, trying other kinds of paper, confetti and then later drawing on them.
These bookmarks are drawings and collages that are abstract in nature, double sided and laminated for durability. The drawn bookmarks are mostly made on Nepalese Lokta paper with a palette that I select at random from a can of assorted pens and markers. The collages are made with a variety of paper and plastic that is cut, hole punched, arranged and sometimes drawn on. They are inspired by my love for color, pattern, unexpected combinations, and my desire to find a use for scraps of paper that would otherwise be discarded.
Regarding these bookmarks, I draw inspiration from modern design including graphic and package design, computer graphics and screen savers, Japanese cartoons and the bag check cards at Trash & Vaudeville, patterns in nature, happenstance and my own inner workings.
I am glad to be bringing this exhibit to Montgomery County MD, as that is where the original inspiration came from.
