The little girl, teetering like a clairvoyant cherub on her chair, makes us wonder if she is aware of something out of view that even the mother has not seen just yet. Is she also a protector of the household, or is she worried of her own impending fall? The mother stares out defiant; suspicious of the viewer. She has no time for outsiders with the family she cares for, and, according to her past, outsiders should not be trusted. I love the dynamic in this piece, the ambiguity and expression of the subjects, and the lighting. I attempt to whittle down my drawings to the essential elements. In this case, the building spoke as loudly to me as the family itself. I cropped out some other subjects in order to focus more narrowly on the relationship between the baby, mother, and daughter. Some elements were embellished or softly blended to encourage a more immediate emotional connection with this family. I hope that you enjoy viewing this piece as much as I did creating it. This drawing comes unframed and unmatted as to allow the buyer to choose the mat and frame that would suit them best. This work is drawn with vine charcoal, charcoal pencil, ink and black pastel in order to create the greatest spectrum of grays, whites and blacks. The paper used is Strathmore Printmaking Paper 280 g/m

I spend a great deal of time exploring color; it’s subjective nature, it’s ability to arouse feelings in the subconscious, and the way it creates depth in two dimensional space. Shades and tone play a vital role in my images, giving emphasis to a certain detail, creating space between two elements, or adding a sense of gravity or levitation. I often think of how children see the world as I paint; simple shapes, bright, new colors, and a knowledge of themselves that often gets lost as they age. As a kid I knew my place in the world and didn’t care about my place in history. I’d like the simplicity of that life back. I love old things…. from my 17 year old dog to my 51 year old truck, from jazz to boxing; the ingrained narrative of things that have withstood time. I don’t buy into the concern for celebrity that plagues the modern digital age. I long for the days when people spent more time on porches with neighbors and less time in front of screens. I graduated with a degree in art from The University of Georgia and spent years chasing other careers; from sales to firefighting. Fourteen years later, after a serious injury, I found myself picking up art again. I now create art full time, and live in Chattanooga, TN with my wife and a herd of elderly animals.
