About The Artwork

I do not begin with pre-conceived ideas, but I was still surprised to see the archetypal image of the snake appear in this piece. At the time I painted this, there had been a filmed battle between a large boa and a crocodile. It went on for four hours until the snake consumed the crocodile. I didn't watch it because it was hard not to feel sorry for the crocodile. The action in this piece is implied off canvas by the marks of a struggle which appear near the center. Whether the snake is about to consume it's own tail or the tail of the crocodile is unclear. I enjoy this piece for the mark-making and thick surface quality.

I maintain a studio in an artist colony in Los Angeles, California. Much of my recent work reflects on contemporary society and the political upheaval currently featured on the news. My interpretations are combined with my unconscious and become self-portraits of sorts- of a dark and quirky inner life. No one meaning predominates, only states of ambiguity, where strong undercurrents of emotion combine with murky, dream-like scenes of danger and destruction and contribute to a disjointed sense of unease in an unpredictable world.
