Eye of the Beholder

SO WHAT DOES.....

· A medicated Art Gallery Registrar,

· His cantankerous ex-barfly Mother,

· Random hallucinations,

· A larger than life, boss from Hell,

· A bemused, gun happy Detective,

· An Art Insurance Agent suffering from melancholia,

· A French Nun from Aix en Provence,

· Newspaper heiress Patty Hearst,

· A virtually unknown French painting from 1886,

· A black cat, a talking dog, a distraught goldfish,

· And a mummified canary all have in common?

They all come to life in the EYE OF THE BEHOLDER. Except the canary.

A quirky psychological thriller cocktail with a splash of the Arts, a twist of noir, and a jigger of aberration.

Obsession, betrayal, and redemption collide in the Tatum Art Museum and the Victorian home of our protagonist in San Francisco, California. William Frye, the museum's Registrar and a Gulf War Veteran with mood disorders, discovers something that turns his world upside down. As he becomes increasingly obsessed, those around him must also face their own struggles and secrets as they navigate the turbulent aftermath of a missing oil painting that is one step beyond.

Crisp dialog brings to life the introspect of a famished soul and it's redemption. Each of the ensemble of characters are woven together in this tightly-written novella. All have their own idiosyncratic story to tell. Each of our five characters is trying to stay afloat to keep their nose above the water line. How they see themselves and each other of course, is all in the eye of the beholder.
