After emerging from a nine month major depressive episode, I created this body of work in response to my mother’s rapid decline from Parkinson’s Disease. September 7th 2025 was her first stroke; and her subsequent death occurred on February 22nd 2026. Studying Revelations, per her recommendation, and Genesis, I read Homer’s the Odyssey, while I blasted Ozzy Osborne while creating work in my Boise studio, The Yamada. I began painting in mid January and completed the 17 piece series March 30th 2026.

Using Historical, Biblical, Lunar, and floral iconography, I created the paintings. Allegorical Revelations proclaims a blood moon which happened 02/17/2026, and the lunar eclipse 03/03/2026. It also references angels. While visiting the Dry Creek Cemetery and found a statue of Gabriel which I recreated in oil. Tyrian Purple mixed with Damar Varnish, I layered the works with the rarest color which dominates the series. Giving all works an eerie reddish tone, I introduced a new tone to my repertoire., whereas my past works have been subjugated by blues and grays.

I scoured stamp collections, photographed the moon phases, amassed vintage postcards and Christian iconography assembling the imagery you will see in the exhibit. My compositions are heavily influenced by my education at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago: Photoshop, Laura Owens, Gaylen Gerber, Gerhardt Richter and my Fine Arts education in Texas.
