El Barrio
El Barrio
Oil on Canvas. Inspired by Commune 13 in Medellin, Columbia. In reality, Commune 13 (el barrio) is in the hills above the city...but in my interpretation, the wealthy are in the hills looking down on the barrio. The barrio is walled and surrounded by water...with only one exit.

Artist's Statement
I love to encourage the viewer to see beyond the painted image –absorb the light, dive into the color, hear the sounds, feel temperature, recognize the setting, and see complexity hidden under simplicity. I think of my work as Expressionistic with subjects ranging from familiar mountains, empty rooms, imaginary flowers and still life. I use strong color, line, light and form to (re)create a mood, a sense of place…a story.
