His third book ’Dragons Love Art’ will be published by Simply Read Books on February 5, 2019.
Stephen says of his new collage works: My intention in this series is to use forms from nature, the garden and the field, to create metaphorical tribute portraits to the WOMEN - ECO - WARRIORS - who are rising to the occasion, at this crucial period of retrograde political leadership to confront those in power and demand change. I view these personages as spiritual guides powerfully strong in their resolve while reminding us of the greatly vulnerable position we find ourselves, our planet and our Democracy in with a transforming presence.
Each portrait is 30”x40” and are colleges composed of selected original photographs of flowers and plants affixed to painted foamier supports with 1/2”sequin pins. For more information about the exhibition contact: Charmain Schuh at cschuh@naropa.edu or 303-245-4637.
