My oil paintings are a mix of intense detail offset by graphic spatial areas. Concise compositions depict stylized figures in scenes that tell a story. Often shown are the human condition of want for success and consumption of material items and food. The narratives utilize both humor and mystery. The viewer is faced with a lot of questions in a simple realm of pseudo reality. There is a weighty contrast of masculine versus feminine and many figures are handled with a connection or a longing of relation.
