about me.

Art/color is everyone.
We’re all the same, fundamentally, and can find unity--ending division.
I exhibit color primarily, communicating my joy with the beauty of everything. Spectrum is more frequently stifled in America—a country regressing quickly with regards to expressive freedoms and socially supportive communal decorum.
Consistently portraits and figures can be seen in my work, whether people, angels or other mythical/supernatural forms. The mind wanders and can express a vast breadth of imagination when allowed to travel freely.
Influences that resound well range from Kathe Kollwitz emotive social advocacy, Michelangelo ardent figurative fervor, Salvador Dali imaginative insight and Gustave Dore's clear conveyance.
We are all born to create,
nobody is an exception.
