| Artist Statement: | I create work with powerful imagery as the focal point because I have a personal relationship to it. I am obsessed with the beauty and ugliness of mankind and the world in which we live. Painting is a very physical and emotional process for me. Through trial and error, the painting evolves through many phases to completion as I search for and recognize the most damaging, loving, and recognizable "being" in it. I see my art as a statement challenging the dominant institutions and systems of my life in contemporary America. Through grand scale and subtly disturbing imagery I am looking to address the theme of power and entitlement. |
