The agave leaves are priced by the piece. You can purchase a single agave with a traditional base for $450. Clustering 3 agave leaves is $1,000. Comes with two types of light. 21 bulb UV torch and Laser pen for “light grafitti” work on the sculpure.
I am surrounded by natural unspoiled desert. Native plants abound in our area and property. My intrigue with the Agave cactus caused a decision to create a series of sculptures out of the shape and detail of a single leaf. Its sharp point is its defensive mechanism to ward off predators. Its elegant shape captures…
The sculpture is 30″ x 4″ x 4″ resin cast model of a desert Agave leaf. The pieces are cast in layers using rare-earth minerals to provide a spectrum of light and color. The bioluminescent-like light emits in the dark and defines darkeness with a palette of colors: Violet, Orange-Red, Sun-Gold, Aqua, Turquoise.
An elegant form possesing the DNA of the desert. Sharp and Spikey. The strength of the Agave tolerates and flourishes in the heat of the day. The form is sensual, the color and light in the dark provides a different story.
You are guided in the wilderness from the Light within and without. A column of fire and a colomn of clouds.
Available as a 16″x16″ image printed on Aluminum or as a sculpture piece. Some pieces can be hung on walls or as a free standing sculpture.

Guarding the east entrance to the Garden of Eden is the angel Uriel. The same angel guards the tabernacle. A flame glows indefinitley in the night. A sign from the most high and an invisible image of the everlasting God. A multi-spectrum palette of color has an “other” world dimension.
8″x 8″x 8″ resin impregnated with rare earth minerals. Strong color and light properties in the dark. A small vessel is cast within the base. I use it with certain oils such as Lavender dropped in the vessel. The light and the scent have a calming effect on me. Each piece has a sprinkle of healing soil from Mission Chimayo near Taos. “Can’t hurt”, I say. In the darkest of journeys, there is always Light.
