Artist Statement:

“Kings and Queens” is my newest series of acrylic paintings.  My first goal is to make paintings that are fun to look at.  They are imbued with big color combinations and shapes that keep on enticing the eye and spirit.  Once I have your attention, I give you something to think about--or to feel about.  “Kings and Queens” is about relationships and treasuring each other, and also about being our best selves.  As children we all wanted to be a king or a queen.  The king and queen had it all:  they loved each other, were patient and kind and fought fiercely for what they believed.  They are symbols of our true selves--our best selves.  In childhood, we knew that the king or queen goy be in charge.  The king and queen got to make the rules and have a big feast and sit in a throne.  As adults we sometimes need to be reminded that we still get to make the rules and have a big feast and sit in a throne in our own lives.  It’s too bad we forget that so easily!

In adolescence the goal of life is to be original.  As we mature, the goal changes to being authentic.  I want my paintings to be an authentic expression of my life.  I hope you like them.
