This drawing is only part of the sketches for my new series of paintings. I will post more closer to my exhibition so I can live with them for a while. I like to keep my creation space private and internal until it’s ‘cooked’, so to speak. My painting is as much a spiritual as an intellectual and artistic journey for me, which is why I take more time between projects than other artists.

This drawing is how I felt after watching George Floyd die on the internet and the BLM riots and the Covid 19 pandemic lockdown, I can only post this and hope we will get through this together. SInce then we’ve also had January 6th in the US. It’s my 2013 exhibition come home to roost and I take no pleasure in that.

Please stay safe, wear a mask, wash your hands and try not to be an idiot. Our freedoms come with responsibilities.
