MY SERENITY, 2021, acrylic and aggregate on canvas, 46” x 33” x 2”

My paintings collectively titled: Count to Ten are each formatted like eye charts and composed of textured hand-painted dots. They are based on color perception studies and color psychology. Containing provocative and contemplative phrases from sources of various repute, I refer to what I see disappearing both personally and globally. The catalyst for this work was the onset of a vision problem, the Covid lock down and no gainful employment. I created “My Serenity”, the first painting in Count to Ten, because I was struck with the quandary of had I been given too much serenity, or was it completely taken away. The work speaks to what we share and how differently we see from each other. I strive to combine painting skills with a conceptualist conceit and produce beautifully crafted objects that often play mind games with the viewer.
