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 piece is sublime in its messy, chaotic order of color, line, and texture. You can almost feel and taste the candy-like vibrant color! There is some underlying colors and shapes that give this painting structure, reminiscent of the "Blue Poles" from Jackson Pollock, but not in style. The texture is tangible and the color and shapes seem to be almost locked into a grid of some semblance of order. It is a modern and fun painting that adds life to the room.
