While my main focus is abstract art I am currently exploring through a new series that is being created to express the deep emotional experience of being human.

12" × 24" × 0.5" Acrylic Painting on gallery wrapped canvas

A man of courage who withstood traumatic abuse, while enduring hardships and the painful squelching of his innate manhood, in order for me to be. A man who had purpose and a message, and though the message seems easier to understand than the purpose, they both existed in support of one another. I love him forever, without having known him.
