I absolutely love creating with rich vibrate colors, but there is something about black & white paintings and photography that gives a sensory perception of mystery and Depth. In these Paintings many may find them to be very poignant to the current cultural climate. However, I've tried to convey a strong story behind each.
— A blight, a gloom, I know not what, has crept upon my gladness--
Some vague, remote ancestral touch of sorrow, or of madness;
A fear that is not fear, a pain that has not pain's insistence;
A sense of longing, or of loss, in some foregone exsistence;
A subtle hurt that never pen has writ nor tongue has spoken--
Such hurt perchance as Nature feels wen a blossomed bough is broken. - Thomas Bailey Aldrich
- With the hues of an uncompromising grin and a sleight of hand truth, most people only expose a small part of who they really are, and Mask their true self. For fear of rejection, or insecurity within their own idiosyncrasies. But I say remove the mask, and dare to be different live in your truth!
These are just a few pieces I had the pleasure of doing for clients.
