Artist's Statement
I create oil paintings that recall the vibrancy and optimism of America during the Cold War, reframed to reflect the anxiety and uncertainty of this current era. I draw inspiration largely from vintage snapshots culled from the 1950s through to the 1980s, reframing them in a way that creates compositional and narrative tension. I like creating images that raise more questions than they resolve.

For this painting, we see a classic Southern Californian suburban cul-de-sac painted in with a muted palette. A prone figure is lying in the middle of the street. Is he dead or just exhausted?
