Figurative Paintings 1
These figurative paintings consist of multiple canvases, usually three, that hang from the wall onto the floor and are large, constructed pieces. These paintings attempt to move away from the confines of the square and rectangle of traditional painting into an area occupied by the viewer.
"Oh Shit! Something Bit Me"
Oil On Canvas
10' X 6'
I was immediately drawn to this pose's vitality, twisting and turning, so I incorporated it into a natural setting.
"The Curse"
Oil On Canvas
10' X 6'
I wanted to merge the decorative and figurative elements to tell the story.
"Chaos"
Oil on Canvas
10' X 5'
This painting went through different transformations. I worked on it for two years, never feeling comfortable until now. It is about internal and external chaos.

"Waiting to Self-Destruct"
Oil On Canvas
9' X 5'
I developed a story around the image since I found this to be an interesting pose.
"Searching"
Oil On Canvas

“Searching" is about searching for the "self". Seeing something new or different about who we are.
"Tattooed"
Oil On Canvas

I wanted to merge my concepts of still life with figurative painting. Rather than using standard still-life images on the tabletop, I choose beer bottles as the primary focal point.
"Nightmare"
Oil On Canvas
10' X 6'
The painting “Nightmare" aims to display imagery from the unconscious mind and the dangers that come alive in those dreams.
"Hypocrisy"
Oil On Canvas

There is a certain element of hypocrisy in every religion's doctrine. Something I felt compelled to paint to convey lessons I acquired early in life.

A comparison between the biblical story and the nursery rhyme.

One of my favorite paintings. I found "Life is a matter of balance" so I decided to create imagery around that theme.

With this painting, I wanted to experiment with painting imagery that isn't typically connected to figurative or portraiture.
"If Ya Gives Me A Nickel I'll Dance For You/ The Groomer"
Oil On Canvas

I wanted to paint something completly silly and foolish without any deep meaning.
"Cupid Urinating Through A Wreath Of Olive Leaves"
Oil On Canvas
9' X 5'
During the 1500s it was customary to give newlyweds images of Cupid pissing through a circle of olive leaves which wished the newleyweds the gift of many children because infant mortality rate was high in Europe at that time.
"The Wait"
Oil On Canvas
10' X 6'
A mixture of wall/floor patterns. The question begs of: What is she waiting for? Why has her head been shaved bold?, and why is she staring into blackness?
