Pink Lung Balloon with Bicycle

Some of my new work is in relation to the media covering up or revealing information. It's about how the information is marketed and what it's intended to do. This painting is about being stripped down and revealing all.

Stereo Friends in Tandem with the Central Nervous System

Working together for the common good is something people forget about. This painting is about what the world really wants and working together to get it. It's a bit unrealistic but it's always nice to dream.

Ugly Duck Want

Some of my latest work is about personal growth and the idea of projecting what you want.

Nerve Monster

I'm currently in a show where most of the nerve imagery is being used. The central nervous system is representative of the American media in these pieces. I like carrying motifs from previous paintings into new ones. This one in particular uses a similar composition to the cotton candy octopus water images I've created before.

Vision Trees

I've been living more in the moment lately. I try to enjoy everyday and every moment as much as possible. Two years ago I would always think of my past and constantly worry about the future. It left me in limbo. Some growth occurred but it was incremental. These paintings are dedicated to personal growth and individuality. I still have my eye on the future but am willing to flex, bend, and branch out in order to pursue my bliss.

My work has always had a sense of history through the surface. I painted my trees on vintage envelopes which taps into the history element. They measure 8.5" x 13.5". gouache and ink.
