Artist Statement
The Homage Paintings
I am a Southern California-based oil on canvas artist. The majority of my work is devoted to paying tribute to 19th- and 20th-century painters. This has motivated me since these artists have had a significant influence on society, not just in their time but even now. I want to bring these artists back and, in certian cases reintroduce them to the public so that people may recognize and appreciate their influences and contributions.
