About The Artwork
“What’s clear is that things below worsened very quickly, in a matter of years, not even decades. Worsened in the ways you’d expect, yes—in power failures and dwindling resources—but even more so through a kind of continued, frantic retreat from one another…countries backing away. People backing away within those countries. A kind of entropic double spiraling…the collection of units breaking apart, spinning outward and farther from the center, while every single unit spun tighter into itself. It wasn’t just that the center no longer held; it was the sense that the center was the problem, the enemy, the thing to escape. The center was a distraction from the real conflicts, happening in YOUR life, happening here at the edges, farther out. The heart, it pumped out bad blood, bad cells of information, was itself made of bad stuff…And then, one day, it just happened…” “I was happy, but always I was afraid that it wouldn’t last. The best way I can describe the feeling is like being on a big frozen lake with the people you know—your friends, your family. You’re out there together, and everyone is enjoying the ice, laughing as they teeter and slide about. Kids chase each other. Older folks shuffle forward, arm in arm. And you’re enjoying yourself, too—you are! You take a running start and drop to your knees, pinwheeling across the ice, and it’s thrilling and hilarious, but who cares, because there’s some part of you, some deep part, that cannot stop thinking about the freezing water beneath the ice. Stop it, you say to yourself. STOP IT. But you can’t stop it. Because that part of you refuses to ignore what’s beneath...” from ‘A.D. After Death’ (2017) by Scott Snyder (CLEAR, Night of the Ghoul, wytches) & Jeff Lemire (Family Tree, Little Monsters, Snow Angels).

I’m (I am?) a self-taught artist, originally from the north suburbs of Chicago (also known as John Hughes' America). Born in 1984, I started painting in 2017 and began to take it somewhat seriously in 2019. I currently reside in rural Montana and live a secluded life with my three dogs - Pebbles (a.k.a. Jaws, Brandy, Fang), Bam Bam (a.k.a. Scrat, Dinki-Di, Trash Panda, Dug), and Mystique (a.k.a. Lady), and five cats - Burglekutt (a.k.a. Ghostmouse Makah), Vohnkar! (a.k.a. Storm Shadow, Grogu), Falkor (a.k.a. Moro, The Mummy's Kryptonite, Wendigo, BFC), Nibbler (a.k.a. Cobblepot), and Meegosh (a.k.a. Lenny). Part of the preface to the 'Complete Works of Emily Dickinson helps sum me up as a person and an artist: "The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called ‘the Poetry of the Portfolio,’ something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without settling her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiosity indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness." -Thomas Wentworth Higginson "Not bad... you say this is your first lesson?" "Yes, but my father was an *art collector*, so…"
