The phrase on this canvas has a harsh edge insinuating questions like “Did I have to love you before because you did not love yourself? Or Since you love yourself, I am free to hate you?” The vortex in the middle has the word “so” which is a turn of the painted phrase and also a turning point for motion; “so” can be conclusive and non-caring like “so what!?,” or a beginning like “so, what’s next?” THANK YOU and HAVE stand apart but share the same lettering style. The motion of the paint strokes pull in opposite directions toward the center and away and the words “to and “for” are painted to show differing intended directions symbolizing options. This canvas speaks to free will where love is not owned or obliged, but exercised. Love is absent in “I” and “we” because neither an individual or a group can claim to be the sole identity of love. Yet love is hyper-present interacting between both/each and THANK YOU (for love) and HAVE (love) become realized love if “I” and “we” agree to free will. -This piece has finished edges and is ready to hang.

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.
