Identity

"Identity" December 20, 2016 Oil on Stretched Canvas, 36" x 12"

I began this painting right after the election. It is about the polarization of the country. Our silos of identity. I used blue and red because they are easily identifiable as identities, but it could be anything. The ornate cup with the larger marbles, represents a loose collection of people with power who use identity, but aren't a part of it. Off in the corner is a dark, menacing power that no one is paying attention to. There are scattered, disenfranchised, voiceless people outside the cups.

Where have all the marbles gone?

I honestly am throwing these paintings up here, because I like them, they have sold, and I want a place to quickly show people some things I have done. I have not painted since March, and don't expect to until September. I had a family emergency that has kept me from doing the thing I love. I need to reorganize everything in a way that makes sense to me. Technology makes it hard because it keeps changing. The only thing you can count on, is change.

Cabin Fever

  Cabin Fever 14”x11” oil on stretched canvas. May of 2020. I just really loved painting this. We were in lockdown. The reflection in this teapot has my family, trapped. The heat of it is spewing steam but it’s a happy steam. I liked having my family around me. I missed my friends. Although in some ways it was very trying, Lockdown was, for me, about love.
