“Tracks to Auschwitz”
Aug 8th
“Glasses” 30 x 36 inches, acrylic on canvas, 2011

Acrylic on Canvas, 30 x 36 inches, 2011
Based on a real holocaust photo of a pile of glasses taken from concentration camp victims before they were killed. Helps us understand the numbers without having to look at the pictures of the bodies. With all the violence on T.V. pictures of dead bodies almost have no shock value, someone is more likely to question, why are there a pile of glasses like that?
“New York City Abstract”
Jul 11th
Mixed Media on Canvas, 30 x 30 inches, 1998
During my senior year of high school I went to Manhattan to visit some galleries with one of my friends who was also an artist. I remember seeing an abstract painting for thousands of dollars. I had not made many abstract paintings if any by that point. I said to myself I could do this. So the next week in class I found some different mediums and this painting emerged. It was fun, so I made many more abstracts after that. But they always have a story.
“X”
Jul 11th
Acrylic on Canvas, 30 x 30 inches, 1998 (no longer exists)
Unfortunately this painting no longer exists I painted over it. I have a smaller version I kept. I don’t remember the assignment for this painting but I remember the feeling that I created it with. Sometimes in life you try and try to do something and all you get is rejected, here symbolized by an X. Painting my feelings always helped me move on from it. It is almost as if I lock them into the painting.
