Extending and contemporizing the tradition of painting for over a decade I attempt to bring together tragic and compassionate images to achieve harmony. The imagery articulates a vision of my observations of the world as I chronicle ways in which people assimilate within tragic events. Violence leaves us alienated and disturbed, and yet, paradoxically brings us closer together.

Depictions of violence are formed with sensuousness of the painterly process.
Formal techniques allow detachment from the dismal content to achieve the state of impartiality and artistic objectivity. The process and the final message of the images strive to unify in the end.
