The Gray Area Concept
I merge traditional techniques with non-traditional concepts. My art practice creates undefinable gray areas both visually and conceptually. These hybrids of paintings and drawings, made from layers of charcoal and gesso on canvas, are monochromatic figurative drawings that share the stories and identities within LGBTQIA+ communities.
While the process and content within the layers are complex, the message reflected in every work is simple: the world was and will never be black and white, every existence falls somewhere in between, a unique shade of gray, each with a purpose that contributes to the overall picture.
"The Gray Area" series began in 2012 and is still evolving.
There are currently 3 evolutionary series that have stemmed from the Gray Area, each are unique in their own way. click below to see work from each body of work.
