Technically, I am loyal to and have been instructed in the French Academic, Flemish and Venetian schools of figurative
painting, including grisaille, glazing, scumbling and sight size techniques.
The subject matter is psychological, dictated by the influences of sexuality and violence on the self, presented within the
context of modern Americana. The individual subjects are under some sort of stress, recognition, or surveillance, and the
viewer is cast as juror, witness or spy.
Influences are varied and constant: the fantastical realism of Odd Nerdrom, the expressionist physco sexual contours of
Egon Schiele, the waxy fleshy light of Lisa Yuskavage. Literary influences are equally important and include: Gore Vidal,
Leo Tolstoy, Bret Easton Ellis, James Baldwin, and Erica Jong.
My goals are to stay humbled by technique and create images of lasting visceral and emotional impact.
There are no limits.
