My Sample Artwork
So much emphasis is given to material wealth, designer goods, designer lives. One is often blinded to what is real. I experience the underbelly of society and pull the clean veneer from my mind to expose the true nature of life. Life is gritty, life is sordid. One merely has to strip away the sugar coating to expose the truth.
