This new piece for my ongoing series ‘Hidden Place’ is a homage to Frida Kahlo who often portrayed flowers and orthopedic corsets in her paintings. The inscription on the board “DIES LUNAE A.D. III ID. IVL. MMDCCVII A.U.C.” is the date when Frida died (July 13, 1954). This work also depicts my personal experience dealing with acute back pain and treatment.

Some of my work form an ongoing series Hidden Place is featured on Design Squish, a wonderful blog about art, nature, sustainability, and green living, run by a talented artist Anastasia Ugorskaya. Please read the full article here. Don’t forget to browse the blog for some great green inspiration and check out Nastia’s delicate and beautiful watercolors on her site.
My blog got a little dusty over the past month. That’s because I’ve been hard at work on a new and exciting website – www.sgPrintShoppe.com – a place to buy some of my travel photography while benefiting iconic North American wildlife. It features over twenty carefully selected images from Peru, Israel, Iceland, Puerto Rico, and around the US. Each image is individually printed on archival fine-art paper, editioned and signed on the back. This is a great opportunity to own an original artist’s photograph without breaking the bank.
A ten percent donation from each sale will be made towards creating American Prairie Reserve in northeastern Montana. This future three-million acre wildlife sanctuary will provide an uninterrupted area that will harbor more than 90 species of mammals, 300 birds and over 1,500 kinds of plants. For the first time in a hundred years it will restore migratory routes for pronghorn antelope, grazing fields for bison and will reintroduce entire colonies of prairie dogs and foxes back into their native habitat.
