These are four of the paintings from my show, "Convergence Divergence"
This work portrays a joining together of apparently unconnected perspectives so that the viewers are startled out of their complacency and forced to think through the disparate styles. I present a dissimilar combination of similar images to create an emotional as well as thoughtful response.

In art, there is often a conflict between expressionism and realism. Is the visual description of one approach outside the reach of the other? Are they revealing very different truths about the subject? What does one show that the other does not? By expressing this contradictory split of contrasting styles and presenting "the same" in two ways, different dimensions are allowed to be seen. Can we see "the other" when "the same" is altered? Can we explore a new dimension that takes us out of our comfort zone and expresses what the soul sees? Is it possible to go two directions or more at the same time?
