Artist statement

As a painter and designer, I am most interested in color and layout. I went to school in Philadelphia where I got a BFA in Graphic Design. I had the great pleasure of working for a skateboard company while there, where I helped with layout, color separations, etc. While there I was exposed to some amazing emerging artists who are now featured in magazines such as Juxtapoz. They showed me paintings and silk screens that were unconventional, funny, smart and different.

I always loved painting things that I thought were amusing or interesting, but uncomplicated and affordable. I am interested in shape, color, layout and fun. Although the work looks simple, a lot of thought goes into each piece. Everywhere I show it, I always get a different response which is always interesting to me. I recently started doing magazine illustrations as well for publications such as Bejeezus, Barrelhouse, MungBeing, and Bootleg magazine. I have shows coming up in Birmingham, Philadelphia, New York, Knoxville, Nashville and more.

I look forward to continuing growth in my career, both in painting and design. I appreciate all the support I get from the community and I am happy to hear from anyone!
