Artist Statement

Hello and welcome,

My art is full of thick lines, colorful and free flowing shapes, funky scenes and complex

compositions.

I access personal experiences such as flying with Australian super hornet pilots orlearning to walk 6 months after a near fatal snowboarding accident. Sometimes, I findpleasure in the day-to-day truths, like the way a persons face falls when they are madeto pay for something.

My goal in art is to find captivating concepts that are intelligent, fresh and original. Myart needs no explanation but it has a story to tell. I appreciate the complex historysurrounding art and love it when a great concept is communicated well.

I like to use pencil, ink, pen, watercolor, crayon, oils, rocks, string, glue, motion picture,effects, smoke, the landscape, pretty-much anything! I try and use everything at mydisposal.
