Artist Statement

I began my professional art career as a Graphic Designer, Marketing Director, and Brand Builder.

The search for a creative outlet with the fewest limitations - one that allows for the purest, most distilled form of expression possible - led me to abstract expressionist painting.

The works of Sam Francis, Jackson Pollock, Joan Mitchell, and many other contemporaries inspire me. Music, literature, science, and our shared pop-culture colors and imagery are grist for my creative mill.

My technique is best described as controlled chaos/action painting, allowing the medium and moment to lead the way. The freedom of expression in abstract expressionist painting and the lack of an editor remains both thrilling and a little terrifying to me.

An avid reader and explorer of thoughts and ideas from Zen to Quantum Physics, these fields deeply influence my present work.
