About The Artwork
I had an opportunity for a one-person exhibition at a very large, bright, popular venue in busy Arlington VA. Contemplating how I could paint large, happy pieces for this show, and having just finished watching "The Tudors" I came up with the idea of portraying a twist on historic figures, placing them in a more modern era. Hence, the Juxtapositions series -- Napoleon playing "War Games"; iChopin, modeled after the first iPod ads with bright fluorescent backgrounds; Anne Boleyn in the Beyonce pose "Put a Ring On It"; Marie Antoinette sporting a Chanel bag "Oh, Marie!"; the Queen drinking a Corona beer from a bottle, while still wearing her white gloves and purse (she is known to sneak a beer now and then). Painted in acrylics, which added brightness and a "comic" quality. Fun!

United States
Isolation, serenity, and possibility are recurring themes in my work, expressed in paintings of nature, people and places. Oil is my preferred medium, although I also use acrylics and mixed media, depending on the subject and intent of the piece. In my life and in my painting, I operate on an intuitive level, sometimes painting from reference, often from internal guidance.
