Brin de Nostalgie exists as an instantaneous visceral response to the November 13, 2015 terror attacks upon Paris. The painting bids the public to linger with a trace of nostalgia in favor of the conventional beauty and grace of Paris as it resonates in the city’s soul confirmed by its’ unparalleled monuments, architecture, music, art, and citizens. 
The composition; divided into architectural planes mimicking the Eiffel Tower, contains eight people overlapped and dissected by themselves and one another. Grappling hands and feet ascend animating compound emotions. The figures interact interwoven with their own shadows grounding the chaos and resurrection to a real space and time. 
The structural foundation of the underlying Eiffel Tower conducts the viewer from the darker turmoil spinning underneath to the colorful higher layers of beauty ever-present and still remaining. Brin de Nostalgie transcends horror to splendor.  It counters atrocity with the beauty of Paris as disclosed in the fragmented form of Degas’s ballerinas who arise from bedlam to coexist with Van Gogh’s Almond Blossoms, the blossoms that once hung in the Paris nursery of his nephew and Godchild, Vincent.

I paint stories of the human experience. The soul of life is demonstrated in depictions of figures interacting within a realm of time, realities, and one another. I paint that that is seen and unseen. I depict the beauty that often exists after a tragedy. I express the plane of existence pictorially divided, fragmented, as the energy and emotion around each being and happening. Often this movement is abstract, and often it is literal. I create images from inside myself. I carry them and grow them within me until I paint. Most of my paintings are of women and their realities as they relate to the greater human experience. Since my early life, I have worked in oils and prefer my expressions to be shared in their radiance applied using master techniques. The cause for which I create is my acute foresight and sense of the interconnectedness of all elements and time. What is seen and not seen. Known and not known. Contemporaneous, interacting, and incessantly influencing one another in a continuum of the past, present, and future. The entirety exists concurrently. I render the human relationship with eternity. I convey the human experience; acts, thoughts, sentiments, and situations layered upon all those of the past. Giving that human existence as we experience it is bound to the continuum of time. My vision is the complex language of layering multiple imagery levels representing the complicated content of a consequence, condition, moment, notion, or incident. The dialogue I consign contains all elements past and present, their atmosphere, and the energy collectively interacting. My work foreshadows the continuum of the condition. I paint to deliver a vision that others have not seen.
