What I’m Doing…

Large-scale oil paintings conceptually focused around idiomatic symbolism and its noetic and visceral effects in conjunction with color psychology and neo-primitivism. Multiplicity of meaning is manifest in minute ways within an individual work through the diaristic recording of hourly psychic-emotional states directly into paint. Abstraction at the micro level, through the use of thickly rendered oil paint using expressionist color interplay, combined with non-literal, although recognizable, symbolic Animalia imagery at the anthropomorphic viewpoint enables an inimitable expression that reaches beyond singular imagery and advances unique realization upon the audience. As a summative process, the endgame is to arrive at a profounder comprehension of the spiritual and emotional nature of human ontology.
