STATEMENT
These paintings are a visual representation of internal experience. The colors, forms, and compositions evoke the remembrance of specific emotions felt throughout the course of our lives. The oil painting process is compelling for its metaphor and mysticism. The layering of pigments, drips, and glazes allows one to contemplate the common threads of human experience and how they shape us as individuals, such as the acceptance of our weaknesses and burdens, the overcoming and resolution of guilt, coming to terms with our heritage and past, and the search for higher meaning and comfort.
As support for my continuing Substance series, many of these works are compositional studies and color explorations. Conceived to possess a reverent quality, these paintings speak to the importance of internal experience and the positive aspects of self awareness
