The Listen series is an ongoing collection using the portrait and figure to explore contemporary themes of god, faith, hope, weakness and the human spirit. The headphones which are present in the majority of the pieces serve as an expression of a unifying god /human concept in a simple inclusive way. We are overwhelmed with information in regard to what we should believe from conflicting sources and it’s difficult to find your voice and peace. The headphones represent blocking that interference out and finding a connection and voice that’s yours. It is also an exploration of a different side of faith. So often it is portrayed as a black and white pristine ideal – the search for faith or hope is hard. It can be ugly, dirty, difficult and lonely - most of all wrought with fear. There is no need for faith when life is easy… it is the exact opposite.

The figures and portraits are depicted in a classical representational style using old master techniques to allow the viewer to be present with and share an intimacy with the model as they are. The backgrounds are textured abstractions to create a visual and emotional juxtaposition in contrast to the figure. Text and graphic elements are interwoven from music, literature and personal notes representing both the artist and model’s experience.
