Artist Statement
I am fascinated with the world, languages, and the intersection between place and time. I use classical techniques and symbolism, sometimes using dry humor, to express emotions and tell visual stories.
The biggest influences on my painting are the places I’ve seen and the people I’ve met around the world. Artistic influences include Gauguin, Edward Hopper, and Hokusai; writers and poets like Paul Bowles, Basho and Pablo Neruda, and movie directors Fellini and Kurosawa. I have most recently been greatly inspired by my trips to the Philippines.
I paint in oils and watercolors primarily. I often start a painting upside down to block out conscious interference and remain in a state of creative flow for as long as possible.

Things are moving out the door, folks. We've got low low APR financing. We're cutting out the middle man and passing the savings onto you with factory to dealer incentives. Oh sorry...I'm not selling cars. Anyhoo, these sketches and paintings have been recently sold.
