Interested in the pairing of form and message, and formal variations on a theme, I sustain a figurative focus, in reaction to current and historical narratives, including my own. Recent global events have led me to considerations of mortality and loss of innocence in cross generational stories, the usefulness of art’s centuries old regard of myth, foundational stereotypes and the mundane occurrence of violence. I often work in series, creating pictorial storylines with some urgency to exhaust the subject and form to the point of understanding or unburdening myself of it. The result is an annotation of feelings underscoring a dramatic approach to form and message.
