"Religious Arrogance"

Oil on Canvas

10' X 6'

Over the years, I have encountered many kinds of people, including those with deeply held religious beliefs and a strong sense of righteousness.

"Melancholy #1"

Oil on Canvas

10' X 6'

For a long time, I moved through life with a quiet sadness I could not name, carrying it with me without understanding where it came from or how I might begin to let it go.

"Masked"

Oil on Canvas

10' X 6'

At times, we learn to wear a mask, carefully hiding our vulnerabilities from the world so no one can see the parts of us that feel fragile or exposed.

"Balancing Act "

Oil on Canvas

10' X 6'

A balanced life begins when we learn to move through each day with intention, giving our bodies the care they need, our minds the space to grow, and our emotions the attention they deserve.

"Melancholy #2"

10' X 6'

I was still carrying that quiet melancholy when I began the second version, so I let the sadness settle into the work and shape the way the piece unfolded.

"A Question of Geometry"

Oil on Canvas

10' X 6'

At its simplest, the human body can be broken down into a set of connected geometric forms: the head as an oval or sphere, the torso as blocks or trapezoids for the chest and hips, and the arms and legs as cylinders joined by spherical joints.

"Redemption"

Oil on Canvas

10' X 6'

Redemption begins with the need to face guilt, flaws, and past mistakes, then slowly moves toward the hope of making amends. In that same spirit, the eggs become symbols of renewal, carrying the quiet promise that something new can still begin.

The condoms add another layer to this meaning, suggesting safety, responsibility, respect for boundaries, and the delicate balance between freedom and protection.

"Past, Present, and Future"

Oil on Canvas

10' X 6'

Life often asks us to find balance between the three dimensions of time: the past that shaped us, the present we are living in, and the future we are still becoming.

"The Sun Bather"

Oil on Canvas

10' X 6'

Sometimes we cling to ideas that cannot truly come to life, much like sitting in a dark room and still hoping the warmth of the sun will leave a golden tan on our skin.

"Four Apples"

Oil on Canvas

8.5' X 5'

My goal was to use perspective to draw the viewer deeper into the piece while placing a figurative image alongside a still life in the foreground.

"The Darkness of Greif"

Oil on Canvas

10' X 6'

Losing someone close to us can leave a deep emotional impact, bringing grief that is both intense and difficult to carry.

"Lost Innocence"

Oil on Canvas

10' X 6'

There was a time in life when you may have felt innocent and untouched, almost as pure as Snow White. But growing up changes us all.

"The Androgyney"

Oil on Canvas

10' X 6'

"Innocence of Youth"

Oil on Canvas and fabric

12' X 22'

"Pointing the right direction"
