Guns, gods, and grand delusions

Guns, Gods, and Grand Delusions is a body of work that confronts the injustices woven into American society—white supremacy, political extremism, and systemic abuse of power. Drawing inspiration from personal experiences of marginalization and artists like Francisco Goya and Sue Coe, my work aims to expose uncomfortable truths through raw, provocative imagery. I explore these themes using a dark, muted color palette, distorted figures, and nontraditional perspectives to communicate urgency and emotional weight. Influenced by my upbringing in a predominantly white, conservative town, I create work that channels grief, rage, and empathy into visual protest. Each piece is a reflection of the social chaos we live in and a call to question complicity, challenge authority, and demand accountability. My process is intuitive and rooted in mixed media, allowing space for subconscious expression and unpredictable outcomes. This exhibition is both deeply personal and unapologetically political, created to disturb, provoke, and inspire change.
