Brought me Lederhosen for after the holidays when I will be one or two sizes bigger.

But then Jim pulled some serious beer.... and I traded.

Artist Statement:
My work is about the varied journeys we take through life. It’s about growing up and living in a world that is broken. These paintings are about trauma, fear and loneliness and the strength that it takes to survive and thrive. They each contain the contrast of the untainted, young and innocent against a backdrop of a worn, ragged, and defiled world. Support versus restraint, bondage versus freedom, and tension versus slack are all themes that I often visit. My work deals with isolation, loneliness and longing teamed with a level of optimistic hope. Issues of race and the division of wealth have arisen in my recent work. This work deals with the idea of rigid boundaries, the hopeful breakdown of such restrictions, as well as questions about the forces that orchestrate our behavior.

"These mountains that you are carrying, you were only supposed to climb." ~ Najwa Zebian

Once I stopped rushing through life, I was amazed how much more life I had time for.
