The last post is just some of my earlier paintings that sort of jump started where I am now. I like most artists live in my head. It gets crowded some times. I wanted to display in visual form the thoughts and feelings that continually run through my head. I suppose in some way all art is like this. But I try to relay certain feelings with certain images. I continually have feelings of loneliness, so I suppose that is a continual theme. I am also always thinking about how my faith in Christianity relates to all these feelings. As a Christian growing up in a fairly conservative family, I was always told that God had a plan for me. I could and should trust in Him only for everything. If I didn't have something or if something happens there is always a reason and God is using this conflict to teach me something. I agree with this still. But how does one deal with doubt and being angry for where God has supposedly put me in my life? These things consistently plague my thinking. Out of the turmoil of my thought life comes the inspiration for my paintings. Here are some of the paintings I did from my show "Nothing Is Satisfied"at CSULB last Fall.
