Art and Text Project (Revised)

Saevae Memorem Junonis Ob Iram

This painting is inspired by the opening of the Aeneid.  Juno is enraged at Aeneas' escape from Troy, and, as a result, she stirs up the winds into a terrible storm against him.  This painting is supposed to be reflective of Juno's anger.  The words, saevae memorem iunonis ob iram, are translated, on account of the mindful anger of savage Juno.  This is a quote taken directly from the first book of the Aeneid.

Artist Inspired Self Portrait (Closeups added)

Self Portrait

This is a self portrait inspired by the work of Gregory Gillespie.  I wanted to focus on grounding the figure in the background with this piece.  Gillespie usually depicts himself working on his paintings and he pays great attention to the details of his background.  I wanted to bring those aspects into this piece.
