March,I exhibited a new series of paintings at the Trescott St. Gallery in Taunton, MA USA.
the Invictus show is a response exhibition to the Poem "Invictus" by William Ernest Henley.
here is a vid of me reciting the poem a few years ago.

I'm excited about this one and really tried to expand my own horizons as an Artist. I've never pulled apart a body of text and filtered it's meanings to create a visual series of paintings before.
it was a lot of fun to produce and took about 3 months.
the series consists of 50+ pieces.

| moth leaves the flame. in process |
Each painting contains simple narrative(s) in terms of subjects based on concepts presented in the Poem.
for example in" the Painting "moth Leaves the flame" ....the idea is the unconquerable human spirit ..as visualized by a moth leaving a large candle flame with a sublimated outer space scene commenting on recent advances is space exploration and potential for humans to leave earth.....
