Statement

I focus on making colorfully exciting, and emotion-evoking art. My work is created from a nurtured mindset of natural wonder and unbridled curiosity while mixing undertones of many traditional masters. Stemmed from this "unbridled curiosity", I have developed multiple, unique painting styles. Although they're often related by color and mark-making, these complex styles are also the separate limbs of my creative personality. Having a career composed of these "limbs" makes me feel oddly whole like Frankenstein's monster.
