On Presidents Day, I would like to point back in time to a few early paintings. Very early on, I was focused on a series of paintings and collages that focused on the theme of liberty. Most of these works included an image of the Statue of Liberty. A little later, I latched on to the idea of presidents peering over the shoulders of soccer players: a theme of the future. The theme revolved around the idea that soccer was the future, that national evolution was necessary and that presidential figures would understand this.

I can’t remember the title of this painting, but it was a large piece, like 4’x9’, on cardboard.
