Selected Work
 
dry straw for grabs
pair of swallows
with a purpose
 
behind the front lines
swallowtail resting
on a blue and yellow kite
 
 
 
rose water drink
getting younger
with every cup
 
May Day
the queen celebrates
the worker bees
 
 
 
sap green leeks
the watercolor tube
almost empty
 
single branch ikebana . . .
shadows of furry catkins
on an empty wall
