I am a lifelong maker of pictures. Growing up in an environment surrounded by active art studios, my earliest memories are saturated with the physical chaos of creation: canvases too tall to reach, endless slabs of wax, and clay flying off pottery wheels. That innate, unbridled need to create has sustained me as a full-time, independent artist since the mid-1980s.

While I initially trained as a traditional oil painter and illustrator, my practice underwent a structural shift in the mid-1990s when I transitioned primarily to acrylics on canvas. The primary reason was speed while working. My work is highly multidisciplinary; because I also work daily as a tattooist, illustrator, and designer. Charcoal, ink, watercolor, airbrush, spray paint, pastels, etc. Basically I make pictures. I view my fine art as an extension of a singular, wandering imagination—what I playfully call my own 'artistic ADD'.

Thematically, my paintings act as vehicles for visual storytelling. I am endlessly fascinated by the friction between reality and fantasy. I choose to construct these narratives on canvas using traditional, raw physical methods. While digital tools may have their place in quick design layouts, I believe true fine art requires a soul that can only be captured through the physical, unpredictable manipulation of wet paint and a human hand.
