My sole purpose in creating Art is to connect with other people and foster a dialog about our shared life experiences.

While I produce work in a variety of mediums and subjects, I am primarily a painter who prefers acrylics. The type of paintings that I find the most joy in creating are semi-abstract pieces, landscapes, nature and wildlife paintings , and pop art.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in nature and the city I live, Portland, OR. Other things that inspire me and spark my imagination are pop-culture, film, music, and the art work of my favorite Modern artists Piet Mondrian and Philip Guston.
What would you do with $25,000?What would I do with $25,000? I would rent a studio space for a year, fill it full of materials/art supplies, and paint every single day!
