Elements, Oil on canvas, 70" x 30"
In my paintings I explore the depths and subtleties
of human experience by creating images that reflect the undercurrents of archetypal
emotions, ideas and internal struggles, and their effects on us and our environments.
Vision, Oil on canvas, 36" x 54"
I am particularly interested in portraying the
dualities present in all human experience. There are no absolutes in life. Rather, each
experience is comprised of conflicting opposites. Each individual additionally has her/his
own unique experiences. Therefore my paintings are ambiguous and not necessarily
resolvable, offering an opportunity for reflection and interpretation by each viewer. The
paintings merely reflect a subjective understanding of the human condition, and my desires
to explore that further. I attempt not to impose my own interpretations, but rather share
with the viewer what it is that I am currently exploring.
Illusions, Oil on canvas, 36" x 56"
I find human figures to be best suited for the task
of portraying and narrating my compositions. The viewer may best relate to the simple
human form, and this can ease efforts to understand the depth and complexity of the
situation painted, and attempts to interact with it. My hope is that the
viewer’s own subjective interaction with the canvas will bear some meaning in itself.
