O Thus She Stood Painting

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.
