INFINITY
The night sky has been a
constant source of inspiration
for me since childhood. The
notion of the endless expanse
and the mystery of the unknown
coupled with the infinite
possibilities that the
universe holds has captured my
imagination on a creative and
intellectual level.
"Infinity" is my first major
series of works developed
since my series of paintings
titled "Oil Well Fires"
produced while earning my B.A.
in Art from California State
University at Humboldt in
2006.
Consisting of oil on canvas,
Infinity explores a visual
interpretation of "events" in
space, drawing from my
youthful imagination and
ongoing interest in all things
scientific as well as my
formal training as a painter
from a contemporary
perspective. What this series
conveys is an abstraction of a
limitless reality. The
compositions are comprised of
explosions of color and form
and movement of light. The
darkest pool of black space
are speckled with fragments
of light-filled stars. They
are a representation of my
connection to and reverence
for the great mysteries of the
universe.

| Your Personal Biography |
-I am a painter, photographer, & small business owner {Triton Design & Art Co. since July 2006} in Eureka California. This is the beginning of my career. My lifetime goal is to create 5000 pieces of art. As an artist, reality, and the new world of technology keeps me busy exploring the evolving technology driven lifestyle around us. I am influenced by almost every period of art from the last 500 years. I am inspired by everything. Ideas come from all subjects. I find art, technology, history, pop culture, writing of all kinds, film, & music. I am inspired by the individual success of others no matter what their field.
-Currently, elements of surrealism, abstractionism, pop art, realism can all be found in my work. After taking in all the influences and historical knowledge in an ever-growing ever learning environment I adapt to and include the power of technology boosting my ability to create ideas and alternative versions. Thus allowing for experimentation of composition without sacrificing large amounts of time.
-I was born in Northern California in 1976. Attended HSU from 2003-06, earning a BA in Painting, Photography, & Art Edu. Attended Shasta College 2001-02 where I majored in football, College of the Redwoods 1997 & again in 2001, as well as Santa Rosa Junior College 1996-97. Currently I am building a stronger portfolio, & taking on consignments. I also am building my C.V.
-I did not always plan on being an artist, although I possess a natural ability to draw and have been aware of this talent from the age of 11. I played music in working bands from 2001 until 2008, this experience fed my creativity and has helped me think more freely about what is art, & how can I make an evolution to something original. |
