A Series of Paintings About Superstitions

Artist Statement

The power and mystery of superstitions have always fascinated me. The paintings I have done for this series are superstitions that I follow or know people that do.

Though not as prevalent today as in the past, many superstitions cross our path everyday. We try to encourage or generate good luck and avoid or reverse bad luck. We also pass these superstitions down through the generations trying to ensure our descendants of prosperity.

The paintings in this series reflect superstitions, which call for both good and bad luck. While none of us would like to have our lives run by superstitions, why risk harm when such simple precautions can be taken. Knock on wood.
