In the past I have agonized over trying to find a single style in which to work and master, ultimately realizing it is much more fun to use them all.

In my return to art I discovered a deep love of abstract work, and it can be seen in my "Compositions" and "Black and White" series. There is nothing more fulfilling to me than walking up to a canvas with no agenda and letting my brush do whatever the subconscious wants. Laying down color, line and shape until I realize my vision is the ultimate high. It is the only time I truly feel pure.

I recently participated in the #Draw365 project, a daily drawing initiative in which the artist aims to create one drawing per day for a year. #Draw365 has allowed me to revisit my roots in illustration and surrealism as well as experiment with many other styles and techniques. It has also fueled my recent expansion into figurative work.

The pieces displayed on this site are just some of what I have created. You can view all of my work through my website links.
