I’ve always had a vivid imagination. Formally trained in visual art, my work takes familiar things and twists them into something strange, funny, unsettling, or unexpected. I’m drawn to surreal characters, altered landscapes, and ideas that leave room for the viewer to find their own meaning.
I focused primarily on music in my 20s before returning my focus to visual art in my 30s after getting sober. Since then, art has become a way to explore ideas, challenge myself, and keep growing. I want my work to bring back some of the curiosity we have as kids, before everything becomes familiar. There’s no right way to interpret a painting. What you see becomes part of it.
Today I paint in Colorado Springs for people who appreciate the strange, whimsical, and unexpected. If something I make causes you to stop, smile, laugh, or look twice, I’ve done my job.
