Description

The Navigator (2014). Acrylic paints on stretched canvas. Unframed, 16 inches x 20 inches. 

The Navigator features my son Conor. He's sitting on the floor, which is the wooden pattern in the background. The idea behind the painting really reflects how I was feeling for most of my life but especially during childhood. I never knew for certain what I wanted to do as a career. The things I felt I did want to do (art or something creative) I would be told that I can't possibly do that. As an impressionable child I took that as true. The protagonist in the painting is looking at a brass compass. He's looking for some direction, a way forward and perhaps even inspiration. Sometimes I think we put too much stock into choosing the right career path from such an early age that we can accidentally shift kids (and people generally) from their right path, leaving them lost and uncertain.
