Artist Statement:
My best work is completely
improvisational. It comes from
outside my self, from a place
unknown to my self, where the
art takes on a life of it's
own and creates it's self. I
try very hard not to
categorize my work, or create
any boundaries for it. If I
find myself thinking to much
about it, that's when I loose
my creative flow. Each piece
must be allowed to take on
that life of it's own and show
me where to put that next
brush stroke. This approach
has become almost meditative,
zen like for me. It is at
these times when I reach this
place that the gift that is
given to all us artists rears
its head and gives the world
one more thing of beauty.

| Your Personal Biography |
Born September 2nd 1974 I was creative from the get go. There's little doubt in my mind that I was put on this earth to create things to add beauty to this world.
All through school my best subject was always, you guessed it, art. As I struggled through almost every other subject, I could always count on that A+ in art. In high school ( Pacific Shores Private High School) I won countless awards in the arts and was given the honer of designing the cover for my senior year book as well as doing all the artwork for the inside of the book. I was also a two time first place winner in the Color It Orange Student Art Contest in 1988 & 1989 which won me a scholarship to The Art Institute of Southern California in Laguna Beach Ca. from there I also attended Saddleback College where I have to say they have an excellent art department, that with the exception of the location I preferred to any other facility. I learned and honed most of my technical abilities in drawing, painting, and sculpture here.
Since then I have been doing graphic design work for musical groups and small companies as well as pursuing my career as a fine artist. |
