It's hard not to be positively or negatively impacted by the billions of bits of information that our mind takes in every day, especially now in the age of instant connection.

Thankfully, I have found my survival in acts of colorful meditation that result in neo-baroque maximalist kaleidoscopic pop-art compositions. By painting sloppy but wildly detailed paintings I am able to calm my thoughts, face my emotions, and challenge my brain - all while exploring a process that combines my many skills, techniques, and conquered mediums.

I often look back on my old paintings and say ‘Damn, that one’s garbage.’ I think many artists feel that way. Where I am now is so much more advanced than where I was then. • BUT sometimes I look at certain old pieces and think
Tweet tweet. Emerging from my hibernation, errrrr, my depression? er, my slumber? Umm. The thing. #SlothMode • Well, whatever it is that’s been holding me back (streaming and blankets) - I’m hopping into flight on a few fun new proje
Everything is tragic. Everything is hysterical. Welcome to life as a human. #fuck • These are paintings of the theater mask duo of Comedy and Tragedy, can’t you tell? • Or are they emojis!? Damn, I have no idea really. Thanks for look
I once won some sort of award for this painting but I can’t quite recall what it was. Some sort of spotlight for artists under 30. But I think I was 30 at the time. 😉 #RuleBender • • This painting came from a time where I used a lot
