My artwork explores the relationship between pop culture and fine art. Instinctive skills coupled with academic technique make me a versatile artist. Process is very important to me. I currently work in acrylic paint on canvas and wood. Acrylic painting allows me to layer and rework my painting over and over again until I'm satisfied. My subject matter is either by client request or self inspired. I keep preliminary planning and sketches to a minimum. Once I start a painting, I rely heavily on intuition. I try to paint in the moment, while keeping in mind the concepts of color and design. I paint until I feel the piece is finished. Sometimes a painting is finished within an hour. Sometimes I rework a painting several times over the course of a year. Being an artist isn't just a hobby for me. It's my profession. It's my lifestyle. It's who I am. I continue to evolve as a person and so does my art. I hope you enjoy it. Peace.

Ivy Tech was the only option for me as a working adult. I had a full time job, but I was still able to find night and weekend classes that fit my schedule.
