All of my artwork is
based in true events.
They are atrocities that
should have never
happened and should
never be allowed to
happen again. I hope
that when you view my
art, you are sobered by
the realization that people really were harmed in the making
of these paintings, even killed in many instances, and
perhaps then we can all understand that if we remember, we
are not condemned to repeat."
Eric Humphries(Artistic Historian)
Artistic historian?
I have always found it useful to have some kind of label to set
our bearings. This is not to totally define or paint oneself into
a box, but rather to help with generalized understanding. I call
myself an artistic historian because I find this term fully sums
up what I do. I paint historical events through an artist's eye.

2) Why so many burning flags?
3) Do you really believe what you paint?
4) Who buys your art?
