Acceptance Series
“Peace,” “Love,” “Positivity”
Oil and Aerosol on Canvas, 24” x 30”, 2023
This series captures the joy and elation of college seniors as they approach graduation, reflecting on four years of growth and the acceptance of their identities. Painted from photographs of his classmates, the pieces celebrate a pivotal moment of transformation and optimism for the future.
21st Century Overspray Series
“Portrait of an Inspired Scholar,” “Portrait of a Puissant Gladiator,” “Portrait of an Appreciator of Nature”
Oil and Aerosol on Canvas, 18” x 26”, 2022
This series merges traditional oil painting with spray paint techniques, reimagining 17th- and 18th-century symbols of wealth—celestial figures, fierce animals, and Persian rug-inspired patterns—into modern, layered portraits. The title references both stencil overspray and the experiences of BIPOC students at predominantly white institutions, while the individual piece names pay homage to artists like John Singer Sargent, bridging historical and contemporary art.
