"If the Risk Isn't Taken" 36x48'' oil on canvas
"The spirit of evil is the negation of the life force by fear. Only boldness can deliver us from fear. And if the risk is not taken, the meaning of life is somehow violated." - Carl Jung
I've always been inspired by Carl Jung. His writings helped me on my journey towards becoming a painter. This piece pays homage to his work, and the mysterious process that is becoming the person you were always meant to be.

"Which Path to Take" 36x48" oil on canvas.
Sometimes the hardest part is to figure out which path to take in life. Do I go left, right, backwards, forwards? I've been there.

"Compartmentalize" 36x48" oil on canvas.
When you aren't clear on your path, you compartmentalize in order to keep things straight in your head. A series of mini personalities, all trying to co-exist in your mind. It can get crowded sometimes.
