Innocence Appraised
I acquired a late life addiction to buying paint and I am
compelled to use it. Mostly to suss out dark thoughts that plague
me. The images that surface often are subjects that people shy
away from having conversations about. Depression, addiction,
isolation and suicide are issues that I have personally
experienced and have witnessed far too many people struggle
with. And I have lost too many that were dear to me. I work to
bring those conversations to the surface in hopes that I won’t
lose any more.
Every piece is a discovery, the product of me pushing paint
around on a canvas. While my subconscious has a conversation
with the shapes that appear. Each image arrives from some seed
that was planted through experience, observations or overheard
conversations.
