About the Art

“WILDING 1 (Image #2 in our gallery) is a painting that hints at mankind's tenuous connection with nature. Our love for it and our fluctuating indifference to preserving it. Like much of my work, the painting isn’t about the specific objects in the picture, but tries to create an intensity, or a climate of emotions that convey my intentions. There is no narrative.”
