"Angelica" 34"x46"

"Angelica" This dress was given to me by a friend Angela during one of our mammoth Lakes winter art shows. She loved the dress art I was creating and decided that one less dress would go to the Goodwill. I'm so happy for her decision......

"About last Night" 38"x50"

"About Last Night" 
This piece was created using an old pair of Levi's a friend was about to throw away. I had no idea just how I was going to incorporate them into a work of art, It took several weeks for an idea to form. I found that trying to manipulate them on the base was a little more difficult than I thought it would have been. Being that the jeans were the same size and I wanted a male female appearance to the art, I simply placed the male higher and had the female arch her back and kick her heel up.Love Love Love it

"Lyrical Abandon" 36"x52"

Lyrical Abandon was created using a slightly different technique. It provides me with a much smoother surface when I apply color. This particular piece has 15 layers of color making the depth and richness very dramatic.

"Love at the Border"

Seeker-Artist-Father-Nomad

He is passionate about his art and how he creates. the roots of Jack Durnford's art stems from the use of non-traditional art materials reflecting a world closely related to industrial and architectural references. The literal aspect of the work engages a dialogue of what is found and seen in nature. the artist uses construction  materials in non-traditional ways to reflect and refract light which will not sit still. The art becomes a playground allowing light to temporarily dance across the surface, allowing the viewer to witness a stunning ephemeral moment. With nature being a driving force within his art.Now has begun to use different bodies of water as a temporary gallery for displaying his art.

"Collective Stage"

One very calm morning on the East side of Lake Tahoe provided this unique moment. I had to wait about an hour for the sun to rise above the mountains behind me.
The art looks almost surreal sitting on top of the water.

Keep creating!
