Time is fascinating to me. It always moves and is unstoppable. Humanity tends to think of time as limited because we are all individuals who are mortal. Yet each of us comes from someone else who in turn comes from someone else. All of us are mortal, yet we all add to the continuation of time. Furthermore, it is not those of us who "die" who watch mortality. The living witness mortality which is not death, it is change. My use of black and white, bold brush strokes is my expression of moving time that is both stop and go. The black moves across the still white surface of the canvas leaving behind the story of the cycle of pregnancy with the skull representing the destiny of each new baby. I added a purple tinge to the teeth of the child to represent "a bite of life" representing the tension of being mortal while also being part of the on-gong "we." The words are also "leftover" from black paint being moved across lettering that is now gone like the future that is created by the beings that will be gone.

I tell people that I paint God’s mistake which I know is controversial whether you are deeply religious or the opposite such as atheist. Yet my work is not about God, religion or atheism. My art is about the trauma associated with the inescapable relationship that mortality has with innocence. Our birth is not the intent of mortality, but it necessarily creates our personal annihilation. This personal destiny leaves each of us vulnerable to condemning our connection with innocent others who “created us to die” without our permission. Our “error” is our ownership of blame for mortality which is not the power over death; it is our power over cruelty. This inescapable destiny is where my art begins its expression(s). MY ART I use the ancient form of 2-D art to represent TIME as broken yet unfinished and continuing. Like the backside of a hung painting, we are absent before our birth and brought into reality through “others” who have marked our canvas of life already. Once born we see ourselves reflected on the "front side" of life yet witness our previous absence. My art examines this division as the relationship between hope and trust relevant to innocence. The change that each of us becomes by birth is a natural expression from life that we can perceive as a tradition of change. My art celebrates this with my rotation of mediums, vivid colors, energetic brush strokes, narratives of time-conflict, emotional dichotomies, vortex compositions showing our inescapable connection to a fractured reality, rhetorical word-play, and weapons symbolizing our relationship with mortal vulnerability. My “signature” is broken mirrors that capture the WITNESS as part of my art reminding us of our entitlement to mortal existence.
