Artist Statement
I create political art that explores different types of cravings involving themes of sex, money and power, as demonstrated by the Trump administration and their various enablers including MAGA Republicans, institutional enablers as well as the Supreme Court. The Trump administration pursues these themes with determined focus and effectiveness and it is incumbent upon citizens to find ways to push back and challenge these actions. This is my obsession (if not craving) to document these political transgressions that are undermining our democratic ideals. Political art must be seen to have an effect and art shows are a prime vehicle to express these views.
