I was raised in Pasadena, California, then moved
to New York City when I was 14.
After receiving a BFA at the School of Visual Arts, I worked as a graphic artist
at a publishing company while continuing to make paintings and drawings, periodically
showing at galleries in Manhattan.
My drawings tend to depict environments with unlikely inhabitants, or inhabitants in unlikely environments. I try to give these juxtapositions some mischief, while making a statement on the human condition, either politically, physically or spiritually.
U.S. aggression, the brutality of time, the theatrical trappings of religion, the unseen dangers in our everyday lives, man’s desperate attempt to connect to the universe. These are just some of the subjects I want explore with my images.
In the last few years I’ve started doing freelance illustration in addition
to fine arts.
