From earliest man drawing in caves to watching a child take a piece of charcoal from a fire pit Humans have had the need to make marks.

Marks to express the here and now, the past and the imagined future.  Most importantly the need to simply mark our being.

My paintings represent layers of marks over millennia. Covering what came before with a current story that in time becomes history.

The Graffiti Series represents layers of symbols of our modern life.  Whether random or in repetition letters & symbols blend together to tell our stories.  The titles are simply my interpretation of each collage.  Hopefully you will find your own meaning in the layers.
