Artist Statement
“The Lumberjack is a painting that addresses discourses of masculinity in contemporary society. This striking portrait of a male youth illustrates a young man on the precipice of change, the space between youth and adulthood. The sitters contemporary clothing and hot pink arm cast firmly place the figure in a current context, imagery that is heightened by the Romantic landscape we find him standing in.”
