In this body of current digital paintings, words and images are integrated to create a narrative. The images are meant to evoke thoughts about various aspects of life and positive,uplifting attributes of the human spirit. “One” is a picture showing unity among people of various identities and cultures. A question continually asked by viewers is, “what ethnicity are the characters in these images?” The artist draws upon the facial features and skin tones of people from many cultures to create a unique character whose race is unrecognizable. The artist states, “ I would like my work to concentrate on the human condition without people’s prejudices about race affecting how the work is viewed.”
