The Bitter Sea II 40x48 Acrylic, pastel and collage on panel. Contact me for purchase.
My art tells a story. In this body of work, I am inspired by classic film noir and pulp fiction cover art, genres that were a product of their era; they both supported and resisted the strict social codes of the time. The pictures are full of romantic longing, adventure, glamour, and beauty. Populated with femme and homme fatales, they evoke photographs a private detective might take through a window, espying people in some forbidden situation. My art uses a combination of drawing, painting and collage. Collage forces me to simplify and focus on aspects of design, which in turn supports the dramatic narrative, compelling us to wonder and reflect.
News!
My show as the featured artist at RiverSea Gallery was a deeply satisfying experience and I want to thank everyone out there who viewed and participated, either on line or in person.
All the work in the show will remain at RiverSea Gallery, so if you have been pondering a purchase, it is still available!
During the course of the show I made two complete videos, one of the opening night, and the other an online artist talk. Both videos are visible below.
Additionally, I edited the videos down to a plethora of short and sweet videos, available for your delectation on my Facebook and Instagram pages.
RiverSea Gallery is located at 1160 Commercial Street, Astoria Oregon
