This piece is very minimal but it evokes some sort of Parade or marching. What I have learned over the years is to know when to stop working a painting and allow the materials to speak. In June of 2016 a monument that I worked on that my brother sculpted was unveiled in Moncton Canada. Anyone who has seen in social media the animus against police and military lately will know sometimes that people can be very hard on those who risk their lives daily for the public good. I was going to call It snakes on Parade without any value judgement because that is what the painting looks like. Snakes walking or marching. The title 'snakes on parade' would however seem like I think the guardians are snakes. So I avoided tinging the painting with an aspersion. We need to support the ones who keep people safe.

Ultimately what I aim for in my work is to create beautiful art. My main inspiration is cultivated through music listening and I generally like spooky and mystical stuff that was also experimental at its genesis. Technique wise I use a limited range of brushes and often only a couple for each painting as well as paint knives. I have a couple of favorite colors and they often save a painting when it gets out of hand. I like thick paint and find it very challenging. I like geometric abstraction but also expressionism. I like to think I am engaging with philosophy in some way in my visual art. I hope to invoke the sublime or a feeling of it, something greater or powerful that captures attention on a deep level. Its a feeling of the spooky beautiful that can be experienced at a safe distance. I think my strengths are as a colorist but I can utilize space and form when ever I need too.
