My work is about intersections, often, the intersections of opposites or distinct differences. The divine with the human; "darkness and light"; the ancient with the modern; abstract painting concerns with early representational/narrative painting concerns. The combinations, ironies, and juxtapositions are what and where we live.

This series of paintings is inspired by both religious icon paintings (of the early Christian, Byzantine, and middle ages), and my love of modern painting concerns. The aesthetics and intentions of these icons; interactions between two dimensional design/decoration, and stylized representational/narrative painting, the symbology, and, the devotion to God, in the act of painting, these artists practiced; intrigues, delights, and resonates with me.
