Artist's Statement:

Through these works I am attempting to represent in a simple and iconic way the unforgivable abuses to our Constitution,
our precious Bill of Rights, and the lack of any basic human decency exhibited by our Government in recent years.

Endless war, the rejection of science and reason, evangelism, environmental devastation, voter suppression, fear-mongering,
destruction of the middle class, for profit prisons run by corporations, the list of outrages is nearly endless.
Our freedom, our education, our privacy, and our lives are now dependent upon someone else's ability to make money.

That's not the way America is supposed to be. That's not the America I grew up believing in, and those are not my American Values.
