One of the most beautiful things about the visual arts is the ability to communicate to any age person from any culture on an instinctual visual level.

 

My work reflects my life: pursuit of knowledge, alternate perspectives, complex relationships, deceptive simplicity and layered content; I am compelled to record that intangible experience visually, obsessively and prolifically. It is the core of my being.

Notes on the works submitted for review:

 

Black and White Automobile Vinyl on Canvas:

Feeling the need to express my feelings about Birmingham’s turbulent history I began developing a body of work made from black and white materials, illustrating how important contrast is aesthetically, intellectually, physically, culturally and spiritually.

 

(Color)Shredded paintings inlayed in canvas:

Made from three years worth of shredded graduate school paintings.

Re-organized by color, the strips are all hand laid one by one - similar to hardwood flooring, visually echoing a pixilated image, quilts or textiles. These shredded pieces are my direct reaction to homeland security and identity theft issues, while pondering the power of creation through destruction and the cycle of life.
