I tell people I paint God's mistake because my art evolved from a paranormal experience I had in 1995 where I was told “God is Forgiven.” My work is not about God, religion, nor atheism. My art is about trauma in humanity relative to innocence and our inescapable mortality. Using abstraction, brushstroke textures, color spectrums, broken mirrors, the viewer’s gaze and rhetorical word play, I create images portraying Innocence as friction rather than an identity that can suffer loss.
