The inspiration for the painting “Exit Signs” came from a very personal experience I had of watching the relationship of two people I knew dissolve into despair in all aspects, both individuals will eventually play both the “victim” and the “aggressor”; both the martyr and the heathen…the themes of this classic story are timeless, genderless, sexless, and universal and it always ends the same; as a tragedy of loss, where “exit” seems inevitable and the truth of one's own inner monster is glimpsed by all who can see.
