Inspiration

When creating this piece I was reading a lot of inspirational books and exploring different avenues in my life. I was watching T.V. and saw a medical commercial with a heart beat going across the screen. I immediately came up with this concept. I went to my Mom’s work and I asked to be hooked up to a heart machine so i could get a read out of my heart beat…I was to calm so it didn’t really register any real profound dips in my heart beat. Thankfully. So I jumped up and down to produce more movement. I knew I wanted to have an irregular look to the heart beat. As in life, nothing is regular. I wanted this piece to speak to people in such a way where it would provoke you to go after what you truly want in this life.

This piece was originally sold back in 2013 and I was able to re-acquire it after the original buyer passed away. This is probably one of the closest, self portrait paintings, I’ve created.
