Statement
My work is inspired by historical, ancient mythological and cultural ideas human origins, mysticism, religious beliefs, and symbolism. I am constantly questioning the unknown, lost civilizations, the Darwinian timeline, and on a never-ending journey tracing the story of earth and all inhabitants past and present.
My current work varies between 6” x 6” or 18” x 24’” layered oil & acrylic on Dura-Lar or acrylic and a recent exploration into larger works on doors and screens. Research of ancient cultures and esoteric knowledge exploring literature, mythological belief systems, relief carvings, codex's, sculptures and monuments. My work involves a process focusing on spot weight; color palette, image size, and varying ranges of solid space and intricate detail on mixed media backgrounds.
