This current series of paintings was inspired by gay life online, how we present ourselves to each other, how we treat each other, and the series is working towards showing how fine the line is between taste and discrimination in our little pool of people. The work started with a small group of archetypical behaviors but has expanded and become a snapshot of our community as I have experienced it. Our community is so rich and diverse, and I can only paint so fast, but is slowly unfolding, each painting like a chapter in a very long story. Bears, Otters, Twinks, Daddies, Asians, Blacks, Latinos, Caucasians, Queers, Masculinity, Femininity, Judgement, Joy, Fear, Desire, Love, Curiosity, Sexuality, exploration, Thrupples, Couples, Discrimination, Taste, Bondage, Submission, HIV, all have made an appearance in the story so far. The truth is as the series unfolds I am starting to se it as a family portrait of sorts. Recently I saw a Facebook post by a friend where he said family is lost and family is chosen. This series is my chosen family.

born in Palm Springs, CA (1960) and raised in San Diego, I have always had a California esthetic. I moved back east to get my BFA from VCU and my MFA from Rutgers at Rutgers. While in grad school my work was focused on queer life, particularly in the time of AIDS. This current work leans more heavily on subtle metaphor while tackling serious issues. Of course,the viewer always brings their own meanings to the work, which is why I love Art.
