Story Behind the Art

Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. Matthew 27:45

It is assumed that Christ was suffered on the cross for six hours. His crucifiction began at the Third Hour of the day, 9:00 am if sunrise at 6:00 am is when the counting of hours begins. At the Sixth Hour, or Noon, the region was cast into darkness for nearly three hours. The event was not an eclipse of the sun, as it was said the the sun itself darkened. Christ is said to have passed at the Ninth Hour, or 3:00 pm, timing that coincides with the end of darkness.

About the Artist

My work as a whole encompasses an exploration of the human experience. My interest in the people around me comes from the idea that we look at people every day, but we never really stop to SEE them. In every painting I strive to capture the beauty, variations and complexities of the human form. The goal of my portrait work is to capture the soul of the individual–not just their likeness. I’m inspired by the figurative works (to name a few) of Sargent, Fechin, Thayer, Caravaggio and John Giarrizzo. John, my art professor at Northwest College, instilled in me a great love of art and an immense desire to create it. His work and ideas have found their way into mine. I see my work as a self-portrait in that the subjects of my paintings are all a part of me, each painting a learning experience and an exploration of myself as an artist.
