welcome
Don't you see the flowers
you've culled are no longer living—
you've plucked them.
Wear these,
your chains of illusory happiness.
They're perfect.
this is my study
and my work
Art is the study of beauty,
and art history is the history of our ability to translate and communicate "beauty".
The more I paint, the more I think on the definitions and epistemology of the creative language: What is beauty, and it's criteria? Is beauty a thing we create, or something else that we interpret? How do we recognize it? Is it a feeling, or a different sensory stimulus? Artists study beauty, and what you see in their work is their connection to, and philosophies on beauty.
Four series: Each a dedicated visual tale into who you are, challenges you endure, and surrounding solutions. I've chosen the symbols, written the stories, drawn the concepts, taken the photos, selected and edited the reference images, and painted them for you, the viewer.

Who dares do more, is none"

What is autonomy when you see your own puppet strings?
...Should you cut them?
Medicine...
at the wrong dose.
Moving forward through spirals doesn't feel like moving forward.
