Surrealism, Abstraction, Color fields

Honestly features an abstract surrealist self-portraiture collection of works that explore color fields with an emphasis on color relationships tied to symbols referencing childhood memories. These paintings use motifs that connect to patterns, objects, and subject matter found in old photographs to illustrate intuitive interpretations of formative life experiences.The Forgetful Clown is a commentary on internal judgment; representing the inner critic that scrutinizes every action. 

Inspired by artists such as Mark Rothko, Dorothea Tanning, and Bridget Bate Tichenor, this collection of works combines abstract color-field painting with surrealist motifs to portray an honest sense of self through symbolism and intuitive color relationships.
