in a broken prism of paint."

SHATTERED HUMANITY
THE ART
I try to capture emotion in a moment. I am fascinated by what others can express with only a glance: bitterness, joy, disgust, devotion. We are all shattered. It is the great secret. Showing honesty in my art is my primary goal. This series aims to reveal.
MY MISSION
CAPTURING HUMANITY
I strive to capture the temporary existence of human feelings. I have a persistent interest in what we are comprised of. As a Behavior Analyst, I have spent the last 14+ years studying emotion. Body language, tells, and subtle physicalities are my specialties. I bond with humanity by painting their faces. Helping others to express themselves is my raison d'être.
INSPIRATION
HUMAN POSSIBILITY
"To me, paintings create a material form of the abstract, making light and desire concrete. I draw inspiration from the color of a raindrop on your cheek, and covet the intoxicating smell of possibility any given individual holds."
