Artist Statement:
My artwork is a reflection of
how I feel about my life and
the experiences that have
shaped it thus far. It is
largely about the people who
have come in and out of my
life, the ones who are still
around and the ones who
aren't, and all the memories
I've made and am still making.
I strive for my work to be an
honest interpretation of my
day-to-day life.
My work is oil on canvas and
varies largely in size and
subject matter. I focus
mostly on abstracting from
realistic elements I am
familiar with, using Photoshop
as a tool for formulating my
ideas into images that will
serve as the basis for my
paintings. ...
