artist statement
Since my early twenties, my work has involved reconnecting with the pathways of my past.
In my work, I deconstruct memories through the use of color, bold lines, marks of anger,
dream-worlds, and surreal depictions of cruelty and even love. In my creative expression I
tell a story about life seen only through experience. Having spent years in the music
industry, a stay in a psychiatric ward, and exploring the streets of New York, these themes
often embody mature and unapologetic moments in time. With influences ranging from the
street artists of New York to Alice Neel, Konstantine Bokov, and Frida Kahlo, I paint stories
that depict triumph and tragedy, the beauty of life and it's many faces.
