Rejection is practiced on a daily basis whether its direct or indirect because choice is part of life. What we choose necessarily "rejects" what we don't choose. In my painting I express the "victimization" of rejection symbolized by the prison bars and my communication that anyone who looks at this...

I tell people 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 religion or atheism.
My art evolved from a paranormal moment I had in 1995 when I was told: "God is Forgiven" I did not immediately understand that phrase and spent several decades discerning its meaning which is about trauma associated with the inescapable relationship that our mortality has with innocence. Our birth is not the intent of death, 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. In the darkest depths of awareness this personal destiny entitles us autonomy to choose if we want to live or not. Thus, our “error” is our ownership of blame for mortality which is not the power over death; it is our power over cruelty.
MY ART
I use the ancient form of 2-D art to represent TIME as broken yet continuing motion that has a front side and a hidden backside. The front and back are separate-yet-connected parts of the canvas like friction in musical compositions that enable individual pitches & rhythms to carry the music forward; yet individually decay back into silence. Our mortal lifetimes are similar frequencies that carry life forward. My art invites contemplation of this existential paradox where each of us is a natural hope for existence that we can trust is fragile because we know we are mortal. I portray this with a fractured style and vivid color palette to celebrate individualism, directional brush strokes symbolizing changes in time & motion, narratives of conflict, emotional dichotomies, vortex compositions showing our inescapable connection to a fractured reality, rhetorical wordplay with viewers, and weapons symbolizing our relationship with vulnerability. My “signature” is broken mirrors that capture the WITNESS into my art as a medium to represent the inescapable connection we have with choice; as well as a comment that every individual is entitled to recognize life as them.
