A collection of works that experiment with the somatic and psychological resonance of color harmonies, the expansion of creativity and visual literacy experienced when challenging the mind to create shape with color instead of value, and the power of symbology to bring subconscious experiences to the surface of consciousness.

Thematically these works explore a deep and universal tension - the choice presented within each moment between darkness and light. These contrasting forces, two opposite but interdependent poles, provide both the great opportunity and the great challenge for every soul.

Each painting presents a moment. that happened on a Street somewhere in this world. When a considerable choice was made. By me or by you. By me and by you. The Comfort, to see we are the same. Some share THE loving celebration, some ask forgiveness, some risk transparency, some hide safely behind the structures of a face. These works were created in search of freedom, shared with the hope that freedom is transmitted.
