The Sophia, in Jewish mysticism, was the personification of the female counterpart to god. She epitomized wisdom, and was looked upon as a deity that was elusive but could be searched out and found. The name Sophia itself is Greek and means wisdom, being the root in such words as philoSOPHY, SOPHIST, etc. Later religious groups, like some early christian sects, debased her as a heretical figure- her wisdom being superficial and of a false kind. / I personally like the idea of a female godhead, and in this enlightened age I thought it well to represent her in my own style and art. I looked to other female goddess roles for inspiration- Demeter, Minerva, Diana, etc. There seems to be an overwhelming degree of identification with the most popular- and powerful- female deities with the earth, with life, and with death. Of course in the real world woman do carry much of this burden- or blessing, however you look at it- like childbirth, and the stereotypical nurturing roles, etc. Men like myself are able to be brats and run off from our duties with family and home and life, pursuing silly things like war and death and the ‘sporting’ lifestyle. / The Sophia in this painting resides at her place in the cosmos- at once beautiful, stoic, matriarchal and proud. Flower petals symbolizing life fall from her fingertips, but there is brevity in this gift. The skull at her feet is death and the inevitable end of life, yet the skull remains after all else has decomposed; a permanence to this cycle. Accepting this truth and understanding it’s beauty can be enlightening and a release. Original painting was completed in watercolor, gouache, and some acrylic on Crescent illustration board, circa 2007.

Figure Drawing Series. The left is charcoal on white BFK Rives paper and the right is white charcoal on black paper. To me it’s about the duality of form. The two figures are competing against each other but are united. Faceless women portraying the everyday woman and the competition that we as women can sometimes have against each other whether it be our looks, our workplace, or at home. It also has a formalist point. By blurring your vision or squinting your eyes, it can become abstract with two V’s present the viewer can interpret whatever they desire. I’m horrible at describing my work. This was done by a photographic reference from a redbubble member, Barssel. Check out his work, he’s an excellent photographer. http:.//www.redbubble.com/people/barssel

In my experience both men and women can have a pleasant nature under one set of circumstances, but then a violent and corrupt one under another. Photoshop In this image: Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt)

In Roman mythology, Janus (or Ianus) was the god of gates, doors, doorways, beginnings, and endings. Janus was usually depicted with two heads (not faces) looking in opposite directions, and was frequently used to symbolize change and transitions such as the progression of past to future, of one condition to another, of one vision to another, the growing up of young people, and of one universe to another. He was also known as the figure representing time because he could see into the past with one face and into the future with the other. Hence, Janus was worshipped at the beginnings of the harvest and planting times, as well as marriages, births and other beginnings. He was representative of the middle ground between barbarity and civilization, rural country and urban cities, and youth and adulthood.

Acrylic paint on canvas board / 18”X18’ In a worldly context this painting could be seen as a mother guiding, nuturing and protecting her young child. The doorway represents the transition from childhood into independance. From a symbolic angle I see this work as depicting the place where all the dimensions are in sync. / The dark, the light, the past ,present and future, this side of the doorway and the otherside meet in a balanced and lucid connectivity.

This is the good twin image of Unholy Alliance I wanted to post both of these images to illustrate that perception is everything. Some of you will see this one first, others will have seen Unholy Alliance first. I think first impressions are where its at. I would be interested to see who likes which one best. I love them both, I think side by side they represent the duality we all have within us. Its just that most times we dont show all of ourselves to everyone.
