Statement

I’ve always been fascinated with the inner world of things. My interest in the essence of experience has fueled many questions. For example, I might ask, “What’s the color of joy?”. Or, “What’s the shape of curiosity?”. In this way, my work’s an attempt to point at some ephemeral yet intrinsic aspect of reality. Stylistically, forms and tones that are representative rather than illustrative generally guide my process.

Background

Growing up, I dreamt of becoming a comic book artist, but eventually fell in love with abstract expressionism; both as an art movement and as a way of life. After moving from Seattle to San Francisco, I spent over a decade selling my work to private collections and exhibiting paintings around the city. I was lucky enough to collaborate with local cafes, galleries and larger corporate entities such as Starbucks, The Gap and T-mobile.

Now living in Austin, I’m exploring different colors, themes and textures, while also continuing to exhibit my work.
