Lately, I have been painting pictures that I believe have relevance to what is going on in the world, that make a statement, that stand for something.I hope people will study the paintings and try to understand the deeper meaning.Some of the themes are controversial, but I feel strongly about what is happening in our world today.
There are three kinds of people who view my paintings: Those who like it, those who hate it, and those who simply don’t understand. I am especially interested in this last category. I hope my work will create conversation and reach people on a deeper level. I like to use metaphor and multiple levels of meaning to reach my viewer.If it makes them think and feel, then it is successful.
