“The Twelve Labours” 2018 (36x18) Acrylic on canvas I titled this painting after it was completed as it reminded me of the Greek myth of Hercules and the 12 Labours he had to endure as penance for a crime he committed and each labour was designed to be more challenging than the last. A few figurative elements, although not necessarily or consciously depicted, can be seen in the painting which were: Slay the Nemean Lion Slay the nine-headed Lernaean Hydra Capture the Ceryneian Hind Capture the Erymanthian Boar Clean the Augean stables in a single day Slay the Stymphalian birds Capture the Cretan Bull Steal the Mares of Diomedes Obtain the girdle of Hippolyta Obtain the cattle of the monster Geryon Steal the apples of Hesperides Capture and bring back Cerberus

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.
