Color of Identity is a new, deeply introspective body of work exploring identity through the use of color. The intent of the series is to express my identity by using the meanings of individual colors which best represent my character.  

For each color, several qualities were identified to capture my identity. Colors can mean different things to different people. As such, there is a subjective aspect to this work. 

Each painting uses one color, with its various shades, to depict the traits (color and self.)

All eight paintings are 36" x 36" x 2.25" on Museum Profile, Heavyweight Cotton Canvas. Raw Pigment was used to compliment the oils to achieve a bold and vibrant finish. Sides are painted; each piece is ready to hang. 

Color Of Identity

“Harsh Realities & Consequences” tells a big part of my story. 

From the painful and hopeless grips of active addiction to my moment of clarity that saved my life. 

Each piece deals with a specific situation, consequence, feeling or reality of what my addiction did to me and those closest to me.

And, as always, I share my story, my pain, my recovery with the goal of giving others hope and courage to work through their own challenges and to overcome them. You are not alone.

Harsh Realities and Consequences

A 26 Painting Collection based on Pink Floyd's 1979 Album The Wall. This collection took 2.5 years to complete.

There are a total of 26 songs on the album, I did one painting for each. 

My goal was to tell the story of The Wall seen through my eyes, through my paintings. 

Some pieces are literal or actual meanings of certain songs, others are be more creative or personal interpretations and finally, some of the songs will capture how my story / experiences relate to aspects of Pink’s story.
