Portfolio - Pompeii 79 CE

Having visited Pompeii as a teenager and recently watching a documentary on new areas of Pompeii that have been unearthed,

I was inspired to paint images of Pompeii's frescoes through my eyes. Much of the palette is from that era, some of it is imagined.

Many of Pompeii's frescoes contain realistic images of food, plants, Gods and Goddesses, etc. My vision for these works is a pared

down aesthetic representative of my interest in broad swaths of color.
