Fragility
This series of paintings explores the our Fragility and embracing the impermanence and beauty of life.
Indigo Dreams
Indigo is the color of heightened spirituality and divine guidance and protection. It has always been a symbol of an alert mind and the desire to be fully aware. The vibrations of indigo have been described by mystics as the “sixth sense” and observed by the “third eye.” .
Eternity Experiencing Consciences
The Eternity Experiencing Consciences series consists of 35 unique silkscreen prints using 15-20 screens on each unique print. This series was an exploration into my color and layering process with master printer Gary Lichtenstein Editions. This project is published by Long-Sharp Gallery.
I WANT ONE!!
I WANT ONE!! series suggests a critique of the intoxicating allure and societal obsession with high-end consumer goods. The use of marketing and iconic elements speaks to both allure and control, highlighting the seductive yet potentially overwhelming power of luxury brand.
Dreamt Polaroids
Dreamt Polaroids captures fleeting psychological moments—unfixed, suspended in a dreamlike space where memory, emotion, and identity converge. These are not portraits in the traditional sense, but psychological impressions, like instant photographs of the subconscious. Dreamt Polaroids becomes a visual diary of unseen mental states—fragments of who we are, or once believed ourselves to be, suspended in the charged atmosphere of remembering.
Sometimes Tomorrow
Sometimes Tomorrow is a meditation on the fluidity of time and the fragile tension between presence and possibility. In these works, moments collapse and reform—glimpses of futures imagined, forgotten, or barely grasped flicker against the urgency of now. Figures appear suspended between intention and action, caught in the stillness of becoming. Layered marks, veiled grids, and fractured silhouettes evoke the emotional residue of lives lived forward yet felt in reverse. Each painting is a fragment of projected memory—at once anticipatory and reflective—where the edges of time blur and the self negotiates with its own impermanence.
Love and Loss
In Love and Loss, I paint through the quiet gravity of human connection—how we hold on, how we let go. These works come from moments remembered, moments imagined, shaped by the emotional residue left behind. I’m drawn to the spaces between presence and absence, where figures blur and dissolve, where memory lives in layers of mark and color. This series is not about resolution, but about returning—again and again—to the places where love once was, and still lingers.
Affirmation
Affirmation is a series of paintings centered on the power of expression as a tool for inner truth and emotional clarity. Each work reflects a personal declaration—moments of belief, resilience, and intention made visible through gesture and mark-making. The works evoke moments of clarity and introspection—offering visual affirmations that anchor the viewer in presence and purpose. Rather than illustrating external narratives, the series captures the act of affirming one’s place in the world, embracing vulnerability, and giving form to the unspoken convictions that guide us forward.
Descent
Descent explores the inward pull of memory, dream, and consciousness—the slow immersion into the strata of the self. Like fragments recovered from a submerged reality, each painting evokes a moment of psychological excavation, where the familiar becomes distorted and meaning is unearthed through layers of abstraction and form. This series continues my exploration of the human condition within internalized landscapes—spaces that are at once intimate and disorienting. Figures emerge and dissolve, embedded in color fields that feel both confining and infinite, echoing the unstable terrain of memory and perception. The title Descent speaks not to darkness, but to depth—a deliberate fall into thought, into feeling, into the unsolved questions that shape our lives. In this work, I attempt to translate the language of dreams and interiority into a visual syntax—one that resists clarity in favor of honesty, embracing the fragmentation, vulnerability, and quiet resilience of the search for meaning.
Post Modern Mythology
Post Modern Mythology explores the spiritual power of belief in the contemporary world. Drawing from mythic and mystical traditions, these works evoke the way personal and collective faith generate meaning, hope, and energy. Figures drift through ethereal, layered spaces—symbols appear and dissolve—suggesting a world where the sacred is not inherited, but imagined. In this series, mythology becomes a living force, shaped by the present and anchored in the act of belief itself.
Myselves
Myselves is a series of intimate-scale abstract portrait paintings that weave together layers of paint, resin, and digitally sourced elements, creating a complex interplay of memory, identity, and perception. Emerging from the same space as previous series, these works invite viewers into a more personal realm—where the self is not fixed but multifaceted, shifting, and refracted through time and experience. The layered compositions evoke the sensation of looking both inward and outward at once, revealing portraits that are as much about inner landscapes as they are about outward form.
Transcendence
In Transcendence, I explore the skull not simply as a symbol of death, but as a vessel of spiritual power—something that protects, connects, and endures. Across cultures, the skull has carried deep meaning, often revered as a source of good fortune or a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds. This series is my way of honoring that legacy. Through layered textures, restrained palettes, and bursts of color, I aim to reveal the dual nature of the skull—its ability to evoke both the finality of mortality and the persistence of spirit. These paintings are meditations on the unseen forces that guide us, protect us, and remind us that life, even in its most fragile forms, is never truly lost.
Fiat Freedom
The invention of paper money is the fabrication of a belief system based on the credit of government. Money itself is the destruction of the self. A slow but rigid reduction of one’s self worth. As with all systems of belief, the known “unknown” is the keystone of its hierarchy. Similarly to the US economy the individual is created, established, scanned, exploited, and finally consumed. At that point GOD and .GOV have a repurpose for the consumed individual. To be recycled, reconstituted, reformed and re-educated according to the modern mythology.
Freedom and wealth have become synonymous in the “Fiat American Dream”.
Paper Tigers
We The People… find ourselves being protected by and under enslavement by the same means. Rule of law has become a cyclical matter that is manipulated differently with each cycle of administration, rather than the will of the people. We have become a culture that does not even remember its most recent past. The politics of our system has suppressed our interest in how we are governed, and inflamed our emotional reaction to everything. Our Constitution bears only the strength we allow it.
Soldier Of Life
Life is a quiet battle—each path marked by unseen trials, internal and enduring. We move forward not in conquest, but in perseverance. In this, we are all soldiers.
These works begin as small, intimate drawings—fragments of thought rendered on paper. Scanned and shaped in the digital realm, they return to the physical world transformed. Layered by hand, each piece becomes a singular reflection of struggle and survival.
In Whom We Trust
The walk of life…
As human beings with only basic needs of food and shelter, we find ourselves walking down a very different path. All that we discover is that everything has a monetary value in contemporary culture. All consumption has a negotiable price. A monetary standard printed on paper envelopes our lives. A belief in the system is the keystone by which ALL modern transactions occur. Enslaved by our means of provision, we turn the daily grind, expecting more each year. While Fiscal Cliffs and Hyperinflation always remain on the horizon, the price of happiness seems further still. Steady and valiant we solider on…earning and paying the bills. Fed adjustments and Treasury notes overseas will steady the course for now. Forecasts of upward market swings tick by on the screen, driving us further into known unknowns. The Economy is our life sustenance, a machine that provides and consumes our entire existence. A culture of CREDIT finds it harder each day, yet we sill hope for a lot more, never enough. The illusion of SECURITY is a delicate balance,… It’s all “IN WHOM WE TRUST”
Ourselves…Divided We Fall
Modern society associates skulls with death and evil. However, to some ancient societies it is believed to have had the opposite association, where objects like crystal skulls represent “life”: the honoring of humanity in the flesh and the embodiment of consciousness. It is an absolute abstract symbol of our essence as human beings.Today we seem to be fit neatly into the subverted two categories of American politics, dividing us completely and insuring our lack of compassion for others. Propaganda fueled ideologies have replaced our human sprit with sensationalized partisan drama, and by design, a lust for conflict.
