The Tribute Gallery artworks (linked below alphabetically) comprise paintings, bronze sculptures, and photographs, most of which are in public and private collections worldwide but are presented here for Internet exhibit only.
These artworks were created between the years 1999 and 2009 in dedication to current events of the times, defined in the actual physical sense of eventuation but also – very importantly – defined in the abstract sense of human emotions and spiritual consciousness precipitated by and perpetuative of the happenings in our world.
Just as a journalist reports facts objectively, the artist can also report facts, but interpretively, even poetically, in the interest of exhibiting the art in life, no matter how artless life may seem at times.
The Tribute Gallery artworks were, for many years, also musical Internet postcards until the sister site was hacked beyond repair: however, each artwork is presented here with its original accompanying poem or essay.
Most of these artworks remain available as U.S. postage stamps.
