Statement

“Light into Dark”-new work in oil.

October 7-31th, 2023 Opening reception Saturday Oct 7 5-7pm!

My paintings employ a reactive method in the search for an elusive notion that has perplexed me for many years. The images, symbols, and compositions that stem from personal, social, political realities are often a foil to assist in the realization of feelings generated by that evasive notion.
