Billie Holiday's voice was ethereal, spooky at times, and always seemed to cut to the soul. She suffered in her life. Some struggles of her own making and others not, but I look at this image and see her brokenness. While this isn't Mister (her most beloved boxer for years,) I like the older Billie with this little chihuahua, Pepe. I think it shows the immense love she had to give, and captures her deep concern for others; especially animals. The softness of the charcoal seemed to be the perfect medium for this moment between Billie Holiday and Pepe.

I spend a great deal of time exploring color; it’s subjective nature, it’s ability to arouse feelings in the subconscious, and the way it creates depth in two dimensional space. Shades and tone play a vital role in my images, giving emphasis to a certain detail, creating space between two elements, or adding a sense of gravity or levitation. I often think of how children see the world as I paint; simple shapes, bright, new colors, and a knowledge of themselves that often gets lost as they age. As a kid I knew my place in the world and didn’t care about my place in history. I’d like the simplicity of that life back. I love old things…. from my 17 year old dog to my 51 year old truck, from jazz to boxing; the ingrained narrative of things that have withstood time. I don’t buy into the concern for celebrity that plagues the modern digital age. I long for the days when people spent more time on porches with neighbors and less time in front of screens. I graduated with a degree in art from The University of Georgia and spent years chasing other careers; from sales to firefighting. Fourteen years later, after a serious injury, I found myself picking up art again. I now create art full time, and live in Chattanooga, TN with my wife and a herd of elderly animals.
