“How Iron Dome Works” (2011) — a gestural abstraction layered with arcs and impact, capturing the tension of interception in a sky filled with movement. 40 x 30 inches, acrylic on canvas.

I have a lot of hopes for this new year, and this one is coming in with a strong push out of the end of 2025. It's been a hard year, folks, and the next year(s) are going to be hard too. Let's not loose sight of what we're all fighting for. Thank you all for helping me chase this impossible dream.
