  • Biography
    I create art because I feel it's my creative way to connect with people, to tell them a story or to express an experience. What I really look for in a painting is something that resonates with life as I see it and speaks to us as humans. I also really want to entertain people not only in the escapist, idealistic, inscrutable sense but in a genuine way that resonates with the audience as being truthful about our lives. Uncovering a deep emotional experience. On the surface my paintings can appear conflicting in being playful, humorous in some areas along with being dark and deceitful in others. But on a foundational level they're about quite universal things that I hope people can relate to, such as our own struggles with isolation, loss, confusion and our constant struggle to define our place in the world. With Artfinder It gives me a platform to exhibit and sell my work online, something I've not done before but am compelled to experience and succeed in. I've heard great things about Artfinder so said why not give it a try.
