Paintings are oil on canvas or board

These works are reactions – to world events and one’s place in and apart from them.  Recognizable figures are drawn from military websites, slot machines, and canonical images in art history and are placed in bright, anxious fields of color and pattern.  Some areas of paint are flat and others built of increasingly translucent layers.  The combination of these supposedly incongruous painting methods follows the mix of imagery in an attempt to express a whole reaction built of moments and feelings that are often at odds:  beauty, disgust, confidence, uncertainty, fear and humor.
