I was born and raised in Kansas City and am currently
living in Los Angeles, California.

My discovery of my creative streak began when I started
drawing around the age of 4. I eventually moved into other
mediums such as oil painting and recently acrylics. I have
studied under accomplished Los Angeles artist Carol Bishop
at Los Angeles Valley College.

Some of my favorite artists and influences include:
Van Gogh, Kandinsky, Cezanne, De Kooning, Pollock,
Franz Kline, Darren Waterston, and Robert Irwin.

Art is personal. One of the things that we do as humans
is perceive, experience and feel things in ways that are
individually unique. The fact that a mere expression from
one individual can reach or induce a very personal
response in another is a wonderful part of human interaction
and connection. In my work I strive for a balance that is
expressive yet disciplined; deliberate yet free.
