Biographical Information: Coffee, first enjoyed in the Arab world was served with dates along side for sweetness. In a playful café scene entitled *Linked* friends are connected to a myriad of activity through their laptops. The dramatic change communication has made via the Internet, the great equalizer, cannot be underestimated. In the background power lines connect to distant cities, and a tapestry of possibilities for travel/adventure and learning both physically and metaphysically appear. Figures within the painting are dressed both traditionally and in modern attire. These images of other cultures open the avenues of dialogue about differences and similarities between cultures and ponder where customs originate and how introducing new elements and products change societies and the world.
