I am compelled to create, and in these turbulent times, it is my mission to convey inescapable existential truths. My works often begin in a baptism of paint washes –– with no preconceived ideas. Thereafter, I discover hidden subject matter, narratives, drama, or psychological intrigue. With ‘Ignominious Insurrection’, I launched an appeal to conscience. As this theme emerged, I defined and refined, adding key imagery veiled in a fragmented graphic style.
