Brave new old Worlds
See what’s going on. As a painter, I have a strong personal vision of my own time and I express that in my work. It is not decorative. I seek to bear witness to the changes taking place in the world. My work is the 21st century and what is important about it. My time. Your time.
dated 1999 until 2026
