It can’t get more personal than this. I began this series as a meditation on my Grandmother. She was so dedicated to her faith. She went to mass everyday until she wasn’t physically able to anymore. There was something wonderful to her unwavering faith. This series isn’t about one belief- it’s about all of our beliefs. The belief we have in ourselves, and those we love. This is how I celebrate someone who was close to me. As it evolves I feel as though the theme continues its evolution as well. 60”x72”x2.5” Acrylic and gold on canvas Varnished and wired to hang Signed on the side and the back

I am interested in all sorts of habits, and these play out in my work. They show up as painted imagery. These images overlap and intertwine, in obvious and less obvious ways, utilizing the techniques of thick paint or thin paint. In my work I look to a variety of habits, routines and rituals as to inform the performance of painting. My painting reflects upon habits I have whether they be religious, athletic or edible. The habit becomes a singular thought to hold onto during the making of a painting. I use imagery to focus my attention on the act of painting as a method of daily reflection. The images used are ones I am very critical of. I reflect upon the implications the images suggest in the painting. I find myself critical of these images as I also find myself having a secret need of wanting these spoils. These images are rooted in advertisement and I mock and analyze these images as I paint. The paintings allow me to exert control over my thoughts and participation in these images in a reverent and irreverent way.
