About Me

My Thoughts

My work in the past has focused on formal qualities. I quickly began to questions my reasons for creating my paintings and felt the need to develop the content found within my work. I am attempting to now create works that are much more personal and intimate. I am working on developing my style. I am experimenting with symbolism, mediums, and composition. My work now is a visual biography of my life, my experiences and the people within it that greatly inspire me. I hope to continue to paint from my heart and develop as an artitist.
