“WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE….”
54’x40’
Acrylic, Charcoal and Oil Pastel on Canvas

“What Do You Bring to the Table” explores the importance of recognizing your own worth, understanding your skills and contributions, and expecting fair value in return. It’s a reflection on self-worth and the necessity of asserting your value in any exchange.

I did what they said
I followed the path mapped out for me
Half of my existence
Spent chasing a dream that wasn’t mine
Put in chains by a system the man designed
The caricature of a life sold to the masses
Embraced by many, only a few see the light
I saw the light
A life of purpose
A life oddly satisfying
An unconventional way of being
Chasing my dreams
The salesman packed his wares
Shook his head and moved to the next man
Hoping to unload his lie to the next sucker.

To the man who has everything
The life of a flower in full bloom
Clothe in splendor
Beautiful, Radiant
The Gardener tends to it gently
With the knowing,
It’s life is but a breath on the wind
Beautiful flower
Who gained it all
Radiant flower
In search of meaning and purpose
In the acquisition of things
There was no satisfaction
In the possession of the world
All vanity
The search for his soul continues
But the conclusion is sure:
Fear God and Keep His Commandments.

We find purpose in living
The dead have had their fill of life
An understanding of the things to come
God smiles at me from His heavenly throne
Love, the only true currency

Poor church boy
He cliches his bible
Tightly, the seams of his shirt hold it
The little blue book
Filled with the words of God
Where is freedom except in the knowledge of the truth
Where is truth save the hands of the manufacture
Oh ye of little faith
Plant your seed and watch it grow
Only time will tell
The faith of the mustard seed today
Become shade for the birds tomorrow.

“Faith without works is dead “
Cried the Preacher man
“What would you have in exchange for your soul?”
Said the devil
All the while the Son watched
Patient, Loving, Kind.
Disobedience is costly
And for lack of knowledge the people perish
The heart has been weighed and was found wanting
As the scales favor the want of things
“I am human, I am human “
The chant is loud
The congregation of the dead sing and praise
Lifting holy hands
We cry for mercy
“To you, Father, we stretched our hands.”

“MR. LENARD….”
Mixed Martial on Canvas

“Sitting in quiet though.
Inertia of the mind
Thoughts come thoughts go
We hold the essence of ourselves in mind
Bad or Good whose to tell
In a waking dream we see ourselves
I hold on
I hold on
I hold on
I hold on to me”

“MMAA….”
49’x45’
Acrylic, Oil Pastel, Charcoal on Canvas

MMAA, meaning “mother” in my local dialect, embodies the nurturing spirit within us all. It reflects how we care for and cultivate ourselves, our dreams, and aspirations—guarding them with vigilance, nourishing every aspect, and pouring ourselves wholly into their growth until they fully blossom.

"The Masses Keep Staring" w/ @say.omas

This is an experimental media installation curated through a collaboration between myself and @say.omas . This installation explores the human tendency to fixate on something that is absolutely unfamiliar.

The idea is beautifully reflected by a CRT television displaying a static screen that sits on top of a stack of crates both covered in graffiti. Static offers no clear image, yet it encourages prolonged attention. In the same way, conceptual art, performance, graffiti, or an unusual installation can stop people in their tracks. They may not understand what they're seeing, but they continue looking, searching for meaning.

Who Are The Masses?
The masses are not "other people." They are all of us.Every one of us has looked at something unfamiliar hoping meaning would eventually reveal itself.

This body of work was created through a process of spray painting over the original surfaces of the television and stacked plastic crates. By obscuring their original appearance, the objects are transformed from everyday functional items into sculptural forms that invite a new way of looking.

Huge thanks to brother Apatewin @say.omas for this wonderful collaboration 🙏

“The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” AMEN.
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬-‭6‬

2025 taught me faith, love and trust in God and those closest to me. That though storms may come and things seem hopeless, Jesus is always in the boat with me to say “Peace be still”. I thank God for His patience with me in times of doubt and uncertainty He always came through. Faithful, loving,caring- THANK YOU JESUS. Happy Birthday to my Shepherd and a Merry Christmas to you All.
