Monk Station

Monk Station

30"x30"oil on linen 2020

"Move towards the light", a friend said to me as we wandered the streets of Montreal on a crisp spring afternoon. My painting "Monk Station" is inspired by that day and depicts a saffron robed pilgrim in a 21st century urban moment. The monk is moving towards the light. Set in a subway station in Montreal, this painting looks at the place of the spirit in our fast paced lives.

Honored that "Monk Station" was curated into Los Angeles Latest Collections by Briana Salatino, Fair Assistant at The Other Art Fair:

Homage to Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo

10"x10"oil on cigar box 2021

Private Collection Los Angeles

My oil on wood cigar box painting of Frida Kahlo is the latest in a series of artworks that amplifies the shared culture between Mexico and the United States. Frida was a dynamo. Her artworks explore the realms of myth, memory, and physical reality in groundbreaking ways. My latest portrait of Frida is an homage to her work and influence.

My painting imagines Frida when she lived in San Francisco. In 1930-31 Frida and Diego Rivera lived at 716 Montgomery Street in San Francisco, just down the hill from North Beach and Chinatown. Frida met and created with a group of artists who energized her creative process. KQED notes that "For six months, the couple stayed at the studio of Rivera’s old classmate and friend, sculptor Ralph Stackpole, who introduced them to an eclectic group of writers, painters and photographers." For a number of years, I lived in San Francisco at the corner of Green and Montgomery streets. I would often walk down the steep hill on Montgomery towards the Transamerica building and imagine Frida living in my neighborhood. More on Frida in San Francisco in the marvelous program and article by KQED - Inside Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera's Life in San Francisco

Exhibited and sold at The Other Art Fair Los Angeles at Barker Hangar September 2021. Thank you to all my collectors and followers. I so appreciate your interest in my artwork.

Tax the Rich

Tax the Rich

12"x9"oil on panel 2021

Congressional Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez created headlines around the globe with her Tax the Rich Dress worn at the 2021 Met Gala.

The socially provocative dress was designed by Aurora James who said in the New York Times: Listen, it would be a lot easier to go to the Met Gala and just wear a really beautiful dress and look really beautiful and have a good time. But that was not her intention, right? Her intention was to take a conversation that’s largely existing in working-class communities and bring it into rooms where that conversation might be a little bit more uncomfortable. It’s not easy to show up in a room like that, with a statement like that.

There’s a lot of people who gain access to rooms like that and are too afraid to rock the boat."

My painting celebrates AOC, Aurora James, and everyone rocking the boat. Thanks to everyone who commented on and enjoyed the painting at @theotherartfair

It seems that especially in times of struggle or unrest, art helps us connect to the personhood of others especially during the current Covid epidemic. My painting Frontlines celebrates the nurses and other healthcare workers battling for all of us. My paintings are crafted as reflecting devices that mirror and focus the viewer’s attention on where we've been, and where we are going. As Marvin Gaye sang so poignantly - “What’s going on.”. Frontlines will be on exhibit at The Other Art Fair at Barker Hangar from September 23, 2021 -September 26, 2021.

The Democratic victory in the California recall certainly seems to go some way toward vindicating the core insights that emerged from this recent conversation with @Redistrict: https://t.co/kfjJKSdmx0
