In-House Drive-By, 2018 - 2023
In-House Drive-By explores the sentiment that a daily diet of fast food and primetime television beckoned my parents toward their eventual deaths. In this scene, first responders carry an individual on a stretcher down their front porch steps toward an ambulance. The person's ultimate fate is the subject of another painting in this series.

The Great Flood, 2012 - 202? (Work in Progress)
The Great Flood is a work in progress. It represents the flood of knowledge that arrives with any great awakening. It also depicts the inevitable transmission of old mythology over time and space when new knowledge should bring about change. This painting is the first of many in which I explore the myths we are conditioned to believe in and how they shape our understanding of the world.
