"I create my paintings from my own photographs. They are a combination of my photos handpainted on canvas.
My work has a simple message: see the individual through color and light. by doing so, one's individuality can be
more fully understood.
It is a visual stimulation to remind people to simply
look at
one another and see through the layers of a complex personality. In our world today fame and pop stardom are sometimes
reduced to “5 seconds of fame”. In some respects we can blame (or thank) the mass media for contributing
to a jaded social value of “been there, done that”.
Regardless, my work is an effort
to capture an essence within that fleeting context and place it into a perpetual freezeframe. why can’t a nano-second
last forever?"
