Listening Paintings
Most of these pictures were part of a solo show in 2022. They are portraits in the traditional sense – individual sitters at a moment in time; people in their places. The subjects are alone in their familiar space listening to their own private thoughts. They are aware of being looked at, but over the course of a sitting I observe them getting lost in their thoughts, communing with themselves.
