ABOUT THE ARTWORK

A lot of my paintings of dogs have an active gesture. But some dogs have an understated gesture that shouts louder than most active gestures. Pit bulls can have a powerful and sweet gesture at the same time. They are solid dogs with such powerful structures. To express this power, I purposefully used larger geometrical shapes of layered color and then overlaid with gestural scribbles as if the pit bull's hairs were raised.

As an artist, I use my canvas as a portal, bridging my inner feelings and thoughts to the reality of life outside. Simultaneously, my canvas also serves as a mirror reflecting my deep empathy for the lives and emotions of others. It's this connection between self and society, the introspective and the universal, that gives my art its essential vitality and purpose. The unprecedented events of the past several years have had a profound influence on my work. I've been both a witness and a participant, as the world around me has become a whirlpool of emotions. However, this reflective phase led me to an enlightening realization. Rather than painting the world as it was making me feel, I shifted my focus to expressing how I wanted to feel. This wasn't a case of turning a blind eye to the harsh realities of our world, but rather an acknowledgement that the art I create can serve as a catalyst for positivity, unity, and healing. This shift resonates with the quote from P.T. Barnum that deeply resonates with me: "The noblest art is that of making others happy". It has inspired me to channel positivity and joy in my art, painting a world imbued with hope and happiness, a world that can help us rise above negativity and division. My work embodies the simplest, yet most powerful expressions of positive energy, happiness, and fun. It represents an escape from the anger and unhappiness that seems all too prevalent in today's world. My hope is that through my art, viewers are transported, if only momentarily, to a place of joy and serenity. In creating these visual affirmations, I am not just reconciling my emotions with the world; I'm offering an invitation to others to join me on this journey of hope and happiness.
