ABOUT THE ARTIST
Painting for me is a raw and cathartic expression of my inner self. It is also an expression of the human condition. I see myself almost as a conduit for expressing raw and passionate emotions, without a filter. I think this is why people respond to my work, because they recognize these emotions from my art, in themselves. I have personally used art to heal and work through some rough periods in my life, and I like to say that my art (and life) is a process of transitioning from "darkness into light".

ARTWORK STORY
This painting was painted in an intense feeling of anger but also simultaneously one of beauty. It is the painting equivalent of protest against war and the state of our world today. There are symbols of structures and bombs falling from the sky, but executed with beautiful vibrant colors and texture which convey a feeling of hope. It is easy to feel helpless about such broad issues in our world, but paintings like this help to express them and this painting was very cathartic.
