My work is defined by the culmination of diverse characters, vibrant colors and illustrative techniques.               

I am inspired by people’s various cultural differences.   Everything from religion, sexuality, race and age are present in my work.  Through series of related paintings, I illustrate stories exploring these aspects of the human experience.  This interaction allows all viewers to directly relate to the work.

I explore my ideas by painting on canvas.  Working with acrylic paint is quick and forgiving.  I can sketch and rearrange my figural compositions without extensive drying time.  The characters exist in abstracted environments.  The intimacy of the subject matter calls for a small format.  I utilize animated colors and bold line work to provide additional meaning to the paintings.  The texture is composed of flat areas of color, overlapped by lighter washes.

In addition to painting on canvas, I further push my concepts with drawings on paper.  This method allows me to create works of art that can be quickly executed and act as companion pieces to the paintings. 

The combination of my paintings and drawings provides two different vehicles for the audience to interpret the stories being told.
