Commissioned Works

Christmas

Created for the December 1976 cover of American Express Travel and Leisure magazine, this work uses actual vintage Christmas ornaments, a rubber stamp, simulated snow and a metal typeface of the magazine’s name to reflect articles within the magazine.

Alfa Romeo Logo

Created for the cover of the 1974 Alpha Romeo automobile sales brochure, this work was crafted from antique mosaic tiles.

The White House Secretaries

Created for the October 1977 cover of McGraw-Hill Publishing’s Secretary magazine, this work uses mitton gypsom letters and stars, a cutout of President Carter’s secretary surrounded by office items, an American desk flag, a miniature Seal of the President of the United States surrounded by peanuts, a Jimmy Carter campaign button and a paper cutout of the White House below the typeface of the magazine’s name.

Peace of Mind

Created as an inclusion for Quest magazine, this free-standing work uses hand-cut stars surrounding a cutout of a body builder above cloud pictures and an athlete running balanced on a head sculpture on a small wheeled vehicle. Target-style glasses cover the eyes.

Kiss Daddy Goodnight

Created for the jacket cover of Louise Armstrong’s book Kiss Daddy Goodnight for Hawthorne Publishing, this piece is a wooden construction of a bedpost with a color repetitive picture of a young girl slowly eclipsed by a black heart.
