| Your Personal Biography |
I was born in 1985 in Richmond Virginia. Homeschooled through-out
early childhood the sense of learning at ones own pace was presented
early on. While attending public elementary, middle and highschool,
drawing, painting, and writing soaked up much of my time. These
interests were inspired by an array of motives; sheer enjoyment,
introspection, a sense of alienation, mental & emotional anguish, a
desire to question, and an anxious desperation to make sense of life.
Moving to NYC in 2003 I began to compose paintings based on personal
essays. I was less interested in expressing myself than in ideas
larger than me which I associated with and wanted to promote. This is
in large part because I found it difficult to relate to the world
around me . I began setting up paintings in the subways and handing
out questionairs with philosophical inquiries. One night while dabbing
around with black paint I found myself with a painting of a woman
which appeared without any intent, any thought or preparation.
Gradually I began to learn that much of my deliberation was a form of
defense and evasion. I gave myself up to this new style, and dark,
often wistful figures began to arise. I would show and sell these
consistently in Union Sq, and was startled by the genuine, sometimes
intense, interactions which ensued. Confidence waxed and finances
waned and so in 2004 I moved to New Orleans. There the work gained
color and movement, I supported myself by selling on the street and
got to experience a sense of community and stability. The wreckage of
the city due to the 2005 hurricane Katrina shocked my senses,
prompting a move back to NY. The grinding pace of NY brought about
larger scale paintings and more professional opportunities. Moved back to New Orleans a year ago...still painting..attempting failed steadiness... |
