I create art to bring worlds of mystery and wonder into existence.

I love to create vibrant yet moody art with a surreal and expressionist vibe through both acrylic and oil paintings. My art often combines dark yet colorful landscapes or backgrounds with esoteric symbols or figures in the foreground. I enjoy combining both dark, unsettling scenes along with a playful and colorful sense of wonder and curiosity.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration through the art of Georgia O'Keefe, Henri Matisse, HR Giger, Joan Miro, René Magritte, Salvador Dali, Small White Monster, and many other artists' work. I also find ideas by looking at images of fantasy liminal spaces, oceans, deserts, outer space, scenes of vastness and depth, and scenes of gigantism or even megalophobia. My studies of esoterica and many great Tarot decks such as Aleister Crowley's Thoth deck or the Liber T Tarot have brought enormous influence to my work.
