Art is not supposed to comfort,
it should make you question everything.
George Grosz

Since 2016, politics has been a major focal point in my work. Collected here is a select group of art created 2017 through today. As we stand on the precipice of another four years of atrocities, I hope that the continued protests of the artist community helps to put a stop to the madness. If nothing else we will document our country’s journey into darkness.

The American Monsters Triptych is the first in a series of paintings on rough cloth, burlap, an
case gold lame, depicting large, monstrous, naked predators. Painted with a female gaze, these oversized beasts are stripped of their attire, with the hope that this bearing of small penis and balls renders them a little less threatening and exposes them for what they really are - monsters. Granted this is an illusion and they remain very very dangerous, even today, to women everywhere.
