This is my explanation for the meaning of this painting; a work so many  have asked about.

Once upon a time the most powerful archangel was Lucifer. For Lucifer loved God more than all others. When God created Man, God said unto all of the angels that they must bow to and serve Man and Woman; even before God. Lucifer could not abide being subservient to mud creatures such as these and refused God's request. As punishment God banished Lucifer from Heaven. Not being allowed in the presence of God became Lucifer's "Hell."

Lucifer is portrayed as a nude figure emerging out of the eye of God. Here I use it as a metaphor for an awakening of spirit and a transformative process from one reality to another. I believe in a continuously changing reality. What I was once is not what I am now. I have been in the presence of Love and I have been outside it. The crucifix with the watch represents our servitude to time, both in longevity of life and in the dominance we allow it over our existence. The Moon chases the Sun. The Sun represents our planet's future as bright and hopeful while the Moon shows a bleaker fate; one of a polluted, marked, and despoiled tomorrow. The city of liquor bottles illustrates our vice, whether chemical or material. The small three orbs represent the nature of infinity, standing for its importance of concept to me and to illustrate the cyclic nature of rebirth and change.
