During the last 35 years as an artist I’ve accumulated various objects and surfaces.  Some surfaces remain in the raw, some become paintings and others morph into a collection of paintings layered one atop another, somewhat of a hidden ‘parallel lives’ nature. 
 

L Reveal is such a piece. It has journeyed with me since my days of living at The Brewery Art Colony in Los Angeles, circa 2010. 

From what I can recall there have been about 5 ‘paintings’ generated on this one piece over the years. Two on the wood surface and three on the linen, the linen side will now be a forever mystery.
 

Recently, during the actor and writers strikes, when the motion picture industry came to an abrupt halt (I have also been working in the film industry for the last 28 years), I dedicated even more time to my art. That’s when L Reveal was uncovered. 

It was a time of fragile silence that became the catalyst to uncovering and allowing my true voice to come forward. 

I had the surreal experience of revealing myself to myself.....silver linings.
