-I am a painter, photographer, & small business owner {web & graphic design, since July 2006} in Eureka California. As an artist, reality, and the world of information keeps me busy exploring our technology driven lifestyle. I am influenced by almost every period of art from the last 500 years. I am inspired by everything. Ideas come from all subjects. I find them in art, technology, history, pop culture, writing of all kinds, film, & music. I am inspired by the individual success of others, no matter what their field.

-Currently, elements of surrealism, abstractionism, pop art, & realism can all be found in my work. After taking in all the influences and historical knowledge in an ever growing ever learning environment I adapt to and include the power of technology boosting my ability to create ideas and alternative versions. Thus allowing for experimentation of composition without sacrificing large amounts of time.

-I was born in Northern California in 1976. Attended HSU from 2003-06, earning a BA in Painting, Photography, & Art Edu. Attended Shasta College 2001-02 where I majored in football (work ethic), as well as part time class work at College of the Redwoods 1997 & again in 2001, & a few classes at Santa Rosa Junior College 1996-97. Currently I am building a stronger portfolio, & taking on consignments. I also am building my C.V.

-I did not always plan on being an artist, although I do possess a natural ability to draw and have been aware of this talent from the age of 11. I played music in working bands from 2001 until 2008, this experience fed my creativity and has helped me think more freely about what is art, & how can I make an evolution to something original.
