Rejection is practiced on a daily basis whether its direct or indirect because choice is part of life. What we choose necessarily "rejects" what we don't choose. In my painting I express the "victimization" of rejection symbolized by the prison bars and my communication that anyone who looks at this painting is not allowed to like it. Myself, I don't like this painting even though I created it. I don't like pink in such quantity as it is used here. So, if you don't like the painting, you are in agreement with me, but reject the painting. If you like the painting, then you reject my feelings about this painting. The paradox reveals victimization which is the underlying deception that one choice is better than another. This piece is unframed with finished edges and ready to hang. I stretched this canvas myself and the frame is sturdy and won't warp in standard conditions. It weighs approximately 4 lbs.

I tell people that I paint God’s mistake which I know is controversial whether you are deeply religious or the opposite such as atheist. Yet my work is not about God, religion or atheism. My art is about the trauma associated with the inescapable relationship that mortality has with innocence. Our birth is not the intent of mortality, but it necessarily creates our personal annihilation. This personal destiny leaves each of us vulnerable to condemning our connection with innocent others who “created us to die” without our permission. Our “error” is our ownership of blame for mortality which is not the power over death; it is our power over cruelty. This inescapable destiny is where my art begins its expression(s). MY ART I use the ancient form of 2-D art to represent TIME as broken yet unfinished and continuing. Like the backside of a hung painting, we are absent before our birth and brought into reality through “others” who have marked our canvas of life already. Once born we see ourselves reflected on the "front side" of life yet witness our previous absence. My art examines this division as the relationship between hope and trust relevant to innocence. The change that each of us becomes by birth is a natural expression from life that we can perceive as a tradition of change. My art celebrates this with my rotation of mediums, vivid colors, energetic brush strokes, narratives of time-conflict, emotional dichotomies, vortex compositions showing our inescapable connection to a fractured reality, rhetorical word-play, and weapons symbolizing our relationship with mortal vulnerability. My “signature” is broken mirrors that capture the WITNESS as part of my art reminding us of our entitlement to mortal choice and innocence.
