My art is a contemporary exploration of the American flag as a symbol of hope and connection
My flag paintings are based on my desire to inspire us to recognize how beautiful America is and to inspire us to maintain this radical experiment. I feel the flag, from its difficult inception, is a part of America to be honored so that is in my mind when I start a painting. Basically I start with an idea of the layout of a piece, where the stars will go, and from there I look at my colors, and from there I draw in a basic outline. I use a brush, sponge or pallet knife to execute my idea, making adjustments as I go.
