My inspiration comes from seeing interesting people everywhere within our livingscape, especially while observing their dynamic work and leisure life, and emphasizing the diversity of our human spirit. Each painting reflects my interest in conceptual portraiture by challenging our sensibilities and common assumptions of who we are and how we perceive ourselves. This narrative is emotional rather than intellectual while describing our human condition. One of my painting techniques uses sharply painted unblended edges and flat surfaces to emphasize and highlight the image. I am echoing the semi abstract 1960’s California “hard edge” school of painting using figurative content. Each work exaggerates or distorts features to encourage the viewer to question the subject’s emotions and motives.
