 Soon to be updated, promise! These are large paintings on canvas from summer '07 show entitled Pretty.  My subject matter is bold and graphic prompting several viewers to mistake these paintings for silk screens, and even eliciting one local painter to say that my paintings look like I hate paint.  My work is meant to look flat, borrowing the sensibility of a 1960's textbook, rather than imitating bygone art movements.  My work is tongue in cheek and flip, meant to provoke a wry smile, not some esoteric revelation.  I enjoy the absurdity of life, my work reflecting the random juxtaposition of disparate objects that can elicit a tense new meaning that either image alone could not.

Sold! Too Late Sucker!




My work of art



"Lone Genius" explores the balance between an artists skill as God given, or inherited from DNA.  The concept of an artist working in a vacuum creating masterpieces has always intrigued me.

Sold!! Too Late Sucker!





"The Wounds Our Fathers Gave Us" is a very melodramatic title.







This painting revels in the awesome world that was the 70's fashion model. Why does everyone hate this painting??
