I enjoy mixing images of Victorian and Edwardian gentlemen with still lifes infused with subtle historical and cultural references that reflect the beauty and delight of a natty man. In each impasto portrait, woozy colors and aggressive surfaces act as a foil to the sitter's stoic pose, reflecting a giddy ambivalence to nostalgia.
