Oil Paintings (making them, and studying them) were my first love in art.
I use series of paintings to explore the big questions in my life, from emotional health, to constructs of personal cultural identity. I tend to write a small paper along with each series, just for my own thoughts, but have never tried to have any of it published.
While I love contemporary abstract art, I want my work to be accessible for the public at large. To have them think deeply and be challenged about the same issues I was when painting.
