Oil on masonite panel

About the work
"The act of painting for me is simultaneously a thanksgiving and a plea - both gratitude for the opportunity, and a petition to continue searching where necessary magic resides.
Recurring themes are archetypes from Judeo-Christian tradition: sacrifice, redemption, transformation. Other themes are more personal, their meaning hinted at or revealed both through the forms and titles.
Geometry is my guardian against the arbitrary - protection against painting for painting's sake."
