This painting great divide we face in our nation. I .chose a rattle snake and cobra to represent those born here and also that we are a nation of immigrants, and how this polarization that is choking out the heart and soul of America represented by the bald eagle. “Divided we fall” is written in Latin on the banner the eagle is grasping. I wanted to add vegetation to show there is still hope.

I used the United States Seal as the basis for this piece. The two snakes represent the two political parties and the flaming heart is to represent our shared values under the strain. The flaming wings is for the fires in California. Olive branch dipped in blood for the ‘peaceful’ protests that were ongoing, while the blue arrows are for our law enforcement with one dripping blood to say that most of our law enforcement are good but it just takes one to ruin it for everyone. The ricasso of the sword has the Luminati symbol to represent the conspiracy theories with the Russian seal at the pommel, and the sword itself completes the Caduceus with the snakes to represent the pandemic.
Being in the military is one of those things that never really leave a person.

Starting from the first grade I thought of myself as an Artist, and I’ve always tried different approaches to Art. I like to build on things and to kinda change something a bit to give it a new look. This is a few of the other mediums I like to use. Several of the paintings here are a collaboration between myself and the very skilled Sherri Voxx.
This was one of the first projects I had with Sherri Voxx, where she would create acrylic pour painting and I would go over it with oil to pull some image from it.
Cooks Tavern at 3201 N 26th st Tacoma WA 98407 changes their menu every few months to introduce a new theme from a different part of the world. They give local artists the surface to paint on with ideas they’re looking for and the artists create art that reflects the culture of that area. Any sales that are made 100% of the sale goes to the artist or if it’s not sold the artist still gets to keep the painting. It’s a great gig.
