Artist Statement
I call myself a conceptual realist with a pop culture twist.   As a refugee from the international world of advertising, I have always been fascinated by the power of an intriguing visual, and the interplay with words. In this case, the visual was an extra large hero sandwich (sometimes called a hoagie or a wedge depending on your geography.) Because of its size and promise, I painted it as a two-part diptych

The underlying list of heroes is admittedly subjective. I learned that heroism has little to do with perfection. Instead, it has everything to do with rising to the occasion at the right time and place. For me, it was a journey of discovery. For the viewer and the reader, I hope it will be, as well.
