This piece is a result of my struggle with the belief in Death.  I don't believe in death, only it's possibility because death is the lack of consciousness, and the lack of time, none of which I can ever experience. Thus, it makes me realize that murder, and suicide, are not morally wrong, they are intellectually stupid because they are based upon a result that can never be proven including the "death" that I lived before I was born. Using mirrors to reflect any witness of this canvas I further the argument that creating death is impossible because even when my mortal lifetime ends, this canvas will remain with part of me attached to it. The bold, red, chaotic paint strokes from my hand are symbols of power, and freedom to laugh at the stupidity of trying to kill or trying to die.

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.
