Hollywood, CA
Hollywood, CA native, neurodiverse artist/actor/writer & twice-a-day meditator. I create as an ongoing conversation with myself. This is how I love the world.
MessageI’m an internationally exhibited mixed-media artist living in my hometown of Hollywood, California. I’m interested in reexperiencing my dreams by painting how they make me feel, finding order in chaos and chaos in order, seeing familiar things in new ways, and creating visual stories that make people feel peaceful, make them wonder, make them remember, and make them pause and look. If only for a moment.
My collectors tell me they respond to the colors, emotion, visible textures and surprises in my work.
Art is a portal into an unseen World.
-Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being
Statement
Who am I? Who are you? Why are we here? So many questions, so little time (or maybe the other way around). I'm forever curious about what (and why) we create. I think that’s the point: to get what’s in us, out of us. Through any medium that’s within reach, I set out to create images that make me/you PAUSE and feel something. I'm interested in nostalgic joy, quirky questions and vibrant longing and I find anything & everything in life to be inspiring, meaningful, strange, crazy, wild, beautiful, maddening and… art.
