In this painting, the larger figure appears to protect the smaller figure from harm.
The Other Mozart
If you look closely you will see a pair of men’s shoes on either side of the woman’s skirt and if you keep looking you will find that she has a pair of legs on either side and she is basically dominated by a male figure. This piece speaks to a male dominated society and how polarized men and women can be. This is also a dedication to Mozart’s sister who was quite a talented musician, but who ever heard of her? Case in point.
Toast
This artwork was produced in 2021, a period marked by ongoing national recovery from the Covid-19 shutdown and the repercussions of the 2020 election, which contributed to societal divisions and a diminished sense of mutual respect and acceptance. The painting features three elderly women seated, observing a hostile crowd that is reflected in their glasses. The composition expresses my personal sense of helplessness, conveying the feeling of being limited to witnessing events rather than influencing them. One woman holds a toaster, serving as a symbol of hope for the future. This element references a comforting memory from my youth, when my grandmother would make toast to lift my spirits.
Red-Handed
This piece is one of two in my paused series, “Eternal Ephemera”, which challenges the viewer to think about the impacts of mass consumption while also questioning mortality. In what ways do we try to immortalize ephemera? Why do we do it? What impacts do these actions have on the world around us?
Nuanced conversations, for sure.
This work is about loss of icebergs, how human’s are being caught red-handed as we destroy our own ecosystems. Ecosystems we rely on. How are we supposed to repair this?
Land of The Free
This piece speaks to the history of the native people.
