"Society tells us to be ourselves and then chastises us for doing just that."

Teacher: Doug Abel
I celebrate and embrace our differences through my art by using alternative subjects to convey a message of freedom and individuality. I build the scene from the ground up, paying attention to form, balance, and composition. Light and color are conscious choices I make to push the narrative further; blues signify confidence and stability, while greens signify growth and harmony. Blacks, whites, light, and shadow play off each other to show a connection. Individuality is something we all should embrace. Be proud of who you are.
