Artist Statement:

I am not picky about the media I use, but painting provides the most comfort and practicality for what I create. I use house paint, spray paint, oil, acrylic, etc. I would categorize my process as unplanned yet direct, working primarily in a "stream of consciousness" state, making decisions about the direction and look of the piece as I go, rather than planning out my work beforehand. When using a stream of consciousness process, my work ranges anywhere from entirely abstractto entirely representational. Some of my favorite pieces that I’ve created deal with themes of familial ties and/or represent relationships. I work with color, playing with color relationships to create imaginative, playful images. The subject matter is portraits of real and fictional people, creatures, environments, and most often, a combination of all of these.
