Artist's Statement
I paint obsolescing material culture, like “Joy to Your World”, in intricate detail, without apology for its current deteriorated state. These signs, once seen in every town of significance, wealth, or commerce, now are relegated to the trash heap.
Images like these, along with titling, i.e. Joy to Your World, serve a symbolic point to reveal that what is perhaps once promised for fulfillment, can hold ultimately false outcomes. Yet, even as I use these images as signals of the fleeting nature of perfection, my paintings so lovingly depict these objects that it once again instils them with status and worth. Perhaps nothing promised is fulfilled, and not all with potential is fully realized, but there is still an inherent worth, usefulness, and beauty.
