face series
►
This
series of meticulously hand-painted work deals with pop
iconography, ironic duality and satirical juxtapositions.
Portraying famous and infamous cultural icons and public figures
inter-layered with one another, these resin coated acrylic and
enamel paintings challenge the viewer to visually decipher the
image while making the sardonic, metaphorical and
sometimes philosophical connections within.

flag series
►
A series of resin coated acrylic
and enamel paintings depicting flag or pennant designs of
invented symbolism influenced by traditional Asian artwork and military banners.
The symbols emblematize pure states of being, qualities,
or attributes while the paintings' titles define their
respective virtue enhanced to an impossibly superlative degree.
This concept is a glimpse into the future and statement
on today’s society and its ever-growing desire for everything
bigger and better and the insatiable need for more.

circle series
►
Selections from the 2007 circle (tondo)
series.
“Of all
emblems, the circle or “tondo” is the most soaked with meaning.
From the dimmest pre-history, it has symbolized the
sun, whose power, in one disguise or another, flows through all
matter.
It represents, too, the seed and the cell, the head,
the halo and the corona, bodily orifices, Zodiac wheels, the
earth, the eye, and the egg, the unbroken cycle of life and the
continuity of consciousness.”
-Tom Robbins
