The contemporary evolution of my paintings developed over years of experimentation in my personal laboratory on canvases.Every mark I develop touches the canvas with energetic motion and energy to fully express all the qualities of the paint. I want the mark to animate as if watching a motion picture. Rich, thin, and thick colors are applied with a painting knife, brush, and fingertip to gesture the movement of the three-dimensional form, emphasizing very hard and soft edges to gain a heightened experience of form and space.

Some individuals, even land developers, covet what isn’t rightfully theirs. Farewell, Josephine Wright. Though we never truly crossed paths, you possessed the grace to endure… Allow me to expound on the painting’s symbolism and the intricate narrative it portrays: Her scars and visible fractures depict the hardships she endured. The orange fence represents Josephine’s confinement. The withered plant in the foreground symbolizes her passing. The hand grasping the post signifies her triumphant spirit, akin to Moses leading his followers through the Red Sea. Finally, the yellow flower represents hope and the cycle of life arising from the ashes of death.
