Oil pastel on paper

"My work is representational, but it is created in a puzzle-like way. Each part is dependent on the next. The imagery chosen may be derived or inspired from historic/vintage flash tattoos, art history, old magazines, online sources, and books, etc. The images have a very personal significance, and the viewer may not see what I see or interpret it in the same way."
