Abstract and Realism

ARTIST STATEMENT

My paintings are an invitation to the tropical wedding celebration of Abstract and Realism. With a slight buzz from your bottomless mimosas, you step off the chartered private jet in the Caribbean and your eyes are overwhelmed by the bright neon son.

Arriving at the wedding, you’re graced by realisms side of the family; Wearing primary colors they almost blend in with the sky. Realism’s family faces are crosshatched and stippled. Abstracts family attendance is unmistakable, bold, and front and center. Their wedding attire is edgy. Wearing colors not visible to the eye on the rainbow like neon green and magenta.
