Inspiration comes from the depths of my camera roll, the sketch develops the basis of the content, and then I drown myself in the ritual of painting. The stench of Gamsol and the thick visage of oil paint coat my brush, dress my canvas, and expose my memory. The process of oil painting creates rich, decadent strokes that are disturbingly close and intrusive. Viewing the works, each person flips through the encyclopedia of their mind to form a relationship. Perceive the painting as if you just met a new person. Familiarize yourself with the uncanny posture – lean into the behavior of the face and body and let it intrigue and unsettle you.
