Bull images from the Lascaux Cave of France, painted nearly 20,000 years ago. The bulls, symbols, and other markings all are derived from images within the cave. My cave-inspired paintings are based on prehistoric images found in caves in France and Spain, many dating back 37,000 years.

All colors are based on pigments used in the original artworks, as are the dots, grids, handprints, and other markings I incorporate into my paintings. For each of these cave-inspired paintings, I make a wooden frame painted in red oxide, which is a color frequently found in the original cave art.
