Artist's Statement

Art, to me, is a tangible manifestation of a creative thought, in my case, paint strokes on a variety of surfaces ranging from fabric canvas and board to scrap materials. The images eternalize a moment, a thought process in time, to be interpreted by the viewer relative to their own perspective and unique journey in life.

I am a visual artist but am rarely inspired by visual stimuli. Nearly one hundred percent of what I paint derives from conscious and subconscious image-invoking thoughts, emotions, and feelings that I feel at the time of execution. Vivid colors and bold brush strokes combine to create vibrant, imperfect subjects, reflecting the vivid, imperfect, but beautiful world we live in. I draw from my inner feelings, preponderances, and observances, rendering them onto canvas with hopes of connecting to that imperfection in all of humankind, while simultaneously appealing to that innate desire for beauty that exists in most of us.

Art rendered, whether rendered in angst, anger or love can be a beautiful thing to behold. I am an artist. I interpret the world as I sense and feel it then preserve it in my art.

Current Project: In addition to creating new art, I am working on my latest novel. It will be my first major writing release since my conversion to Christianity sometime in 2018. Raised a Christian Scientist, I have been familiar with the Bible and the teachings of Jesus since birth, but only until a few years ago, did I ask Jesus into my life, and convert to Christianity. I believe this new novel will reflect the transformation in me and my writing, as it will be minus the filth and language of previous creative writings and independent movies, which I am not ashamed of, instead, hold them as proof, and my personal testimony of the transformation that can take place in a person's life upon accepting the King of kings, Jesus Christ, into your life. Thank you, Lord, for delivering me from the darkness. You are the Light of the Universe.
