It is the responsibility of an artist to speak to the times they exist in. Especially in the times in which we find ourselves now.

Art that is not. Mostly it seems, people make art for that which is. Things of this world, entities that already exist. I seek to create work that explores beyond the here and now. Even when it confronts the salivating jaws of fascism or the corrupt minds of authoritarianism.
Where do you find inspiration?Movies, books, music, the goings on of our corrupt capitalist overlords.
What would you do with $25,000?Buy more paint, make more paintings. The revolution is hard won, and those of us caught in the grip of poverty find it difficult to procure our weapons. For me that is canvas and paint, brushes and solvents. I need to be properly armed in order to fight back against the powers of corruption that proliferate our government and society.
