Abstract Expressionist piece done on stretched canvas that is wired on the back for easy hanging. The sides have been painted white.

The Monarch Butterfly is a symbol of rebirth. It is also believed to be the souls of the departed returned to visit their loved ones. This belief is only made stronger by the migration of thousands of Monarch butterflies that swarm to Mexico every year on 1 November — Dia De Los Muertos.

Figurative elements depict a possible skull and monarch butterfly. Both, along with the collection of marigold yellows, are all symbols commonly found in the Mexican celebration, Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead). The colors used throughout the painting also are commonly used in artwork for this celebration. Purple signifies pain, loss, and mourning. Pink is celebration. White is purity and hope. Orange is the sun. Red is the blood of life. Yellow is cempasuchil which are marigolds that symbolize death. The petals are used to make a trail so that spirits can see the path to their alter.

When it comes to my art, I can’t tell you how to look at it. All I can tell you is that each painting is an extension of myself as they are autobiographical in nature. I am not trying to make any particular statement with my work -- I am just existing in the here and now. I believe that something inside of you is always telling a story and art is the way to service the subconscious; to make something physically come into being that is inspired by emotions or needs. I don’t know what painting teaches me. I just know that it frees me – free from the future, free from the past, free from regret, and free from worry. I have always enjoyed all things behind-the-scenes in any artistic genre be it film, sculpture, theatre, painting. The journey one takes as they explore the creative process has always fascinated me; starting out with an idea and through the trials and errors along with the unexpected twists and turns that occur to ultimately arrive at what becomes the final product. I have discovered that through this process, my painting starts to take on a life of its own and tells me what it wants to be. That is where the titles, if the painting has one, come from – that symbiotic relationship between the art and artist and ultimately the viewer and the journey to get here.
