My work is created using spray and oil paint on a stretched canvas or backed panel. I work in spray paint and oil because it allows me to have the flexibility to bring together the story in my artwork. My work is a combination of flat spray hand cut stencil images from the past and a realistic object, most often a classic car, in the foreground that was created when the events occurred. After experimenting with mediums, I found high end graffiti paint gave me the flat images of the past that I wanted for
My start of a painting is approximately half of the time with an event or year I want to explore and the other half with a car or object that catches my eye. I often have “wow” moments where a car or object have the right combination of color and line to pull me in. Just as a car can excite me an event or timeframe can enthrall me. The fascination I experience requires me to determine why the predicaments, miracles, or misfortunes occurred at the time they did and if there Is a connection to other event
I create these works to express my curiosity and reverence of what has gone on before. I am drawn to the richness of life imbued in both events and items those events create. I don’t give my view on the events that occurred or the objects I paint. Instead, I give the viewer the opportunity to bring their experience and/or remembrance of the events to determine if and how these items are connected. I want my viewer to realize the connections, causality, and correlation of historic events with such a shor
