The Greek Gods breastplate-sculptures revolve on a wooden base so that the viewer can enjoy the outside and inside stories of the gods who continue to be relevant in our modern times.

Aphrodite's breastplate was built over the torso of a beautiful young woman who was in love with two men.

The goddess Aphrodite is all about passionate love. When jealous or crazed with boredom in the bedroom, Aphrodite takes your hand and leads you to the second lover.

Aphrodite buys you perfume and push-up bras. Aphrodite is not your mother.

Omphale, comes from the Greek word omphalos, which means navel. I painted the outside to echo the wings of a male Prepona Omphale butterfly. The inside of the sculpture expresses the Queen’s amorous feelings about Hercules.

Omphale Queen of Lydia kept Hercules as a slave for two years and during that time the strongest man in the world did whatever his Queen asked: he dressed up in women’s clothes, worked at a spinning wheel. They had two children together.

A book made from animal hide similar to Hercules’s garment is affixed to the back of the sculpture. Inside there are love poems and a story about Pan’s visit to Omphale’s castle.

Eros is a young, vital man who is out and about looking for love. He is not in the nurturing love phase of his life, nor in a domestic love phase, but swimming in the bliss of searching. His breastplate is blue, like the Hindu god Lord Rama's, an avatar of Vishnu, who also carries a bow and arrow.

The breastplate is lanced with arrows and “The Ten Commandments of Love.” The artist book attached to the back if filled with love poems.

Nike is my daughter riding beside Zeus while she cruised the internet looking for a job.

Grace intervened while I was making this breastplate: my daughter found a job that got her career going. It is my wish that anyone who might possess this sculpture will enjoy tremendous luck.

On the back of Nike:

Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, give up. Never give up. Never give up. Never give up.

- Winston Churchill

Orpheus' breastplate is modeled on the rap musician Lil Wayne’s tatooed torso. Both are smart, talented bad-boy types who tricked the gods with music.

Orpheus descended to the underworld to look for his wife. He could’ve had her back, on the condition that he did not look back. He looked back.

Hermes is a trickster, herdsman, guider of souls, messenger, and the bringer of sleep and dreams. He is also patron of travelers.

The Hindu god Ganesh protects travelers.
