“Conversation Pieces” is the style of some of my art. The phrase, a picture is worth a thousand words felt inadequate as I like paintings that actually speak to me, so i converse with my paintings and they converse back with me. Ive seen magnificent portraits with historical significance and wondered who the subject was and what did he or she do? Loving information, I didn’t want anyone to be curious about why I took the time to paint them or the political issues that are close to me.
