Artist's Statement
Mass consumption is at the heart of my painting series “Ignorant Bliss.” By utilizing humor, absurdity and irony, I tap into something that’s only funny because it is linked to something detrimental: pollution. These deceptively inviting oil paintings give a glimpse at what our beaches could look like if the “out of sight, out of mind” mentality is continued.
