I paint with acrylics, often on large canvases—up to 36 x 48 inches. My process begins with photographic references, but I never aim for photo-realism. Instead, I allow the subject to evolve intuitively, shaped by emotional response and quiet observation. The image is interpreted, not copied; it emerges slowly, carrying its own rhythm and voice. I don’t impose meaning—I listen for it. This approach is evident in the Memories, Real and Imagined series and continues in my recent work.

 

The Fudgesicle/Apocalypse series marks a shift toward explicit narrative. Structured in three parts, it begins with a reflection on global upheaval—war, climate crisis, displacement. The second part considers what must change to build a more just and sustainable future. The final section highlights individuals and communities responding to these challenges with creativity and courage. Drawing on the visual language of medieval art, the series invites viewers to consider their own place in the cycle of destruction and renewal.
