I make art and enjoy doing so.

The longer the moment I draw, the more of an image keeps appearing on the page. I am truly amazed by humans ability to create and that I am among the creators.

Ordinary Things is a primary focus for me as I feel society often takes the little and ordinary things for granted and a large amount of waste comes from it. Single use plastics for instance, or imperfect produce waste, both of which have much further possible use before the grave. This section of drawings blows up the proportion of an every day object to invite the viewer to take a second look at what we have, what we use, and what we are able to use before discarding.

Abstract art is the place where I began painting and feel completely free of judgment and criteria at the canvas. While all creation is a form of meditating, my abstract work is about emotions and thoughts… the intangibles attempted to be described through colors and strokes of paint.

Portraiture complies friend requests as well as figures I am inspired by. People are facets of ordinary things in a way… they are often, too, taken for granted. When a face is drawn or painted on a surface, it is no longer a passing by but something to be gazed at and thought about for a longer period of time. This is my intent for those people I draw as well as my hope to inspire others to find a better value in everyday relationships.

Experiences is a rotating collection of work I have experience in but do not use on a daily basis. It includes wood carving, a variety of printing, especially silk screen printing, 3D printing, casting, paper making, sculpture, installation work, and web design.
