Conversation Starter.
With my historic portraits, I hope to illuminate the past and encourage discussion. LGBTQ history has been hidden, distorted and undocumented. With belief in the axiom Knowledge is Power, I offer my art to a younger generation in the hope of encouraging them to embrace their uniqueness and create their own paradigms.
Our community founders were complex people, sometimes flawed and products of their times. I aim for a sensitive balance in my paintings to recognize their successes and educate where the community has been. With dialogue perhaps a new path can be laid out for our shared future.
