Born in Marblehead Massachusetts, but lived in Santa Cruz long enough for the surf culture and psychedelic art reminiscent of The Grateful Dead to rub off on me. Art has always made my life more colorful and meaningful and I'm fortunate to live in such an artistically motivated community.
Since drawing with crayons in preschool to attending UCSC for college I have always felt art was a great use of my time. Art for me is not so much a hobby as something I constantly feel I need to revisit and always keep improving on. Much of my work is based on worries and fears I have in my own life, and working on these creative projects is therapeutic. I depict the human form in different states, using organic things to show the passing of time or change of emotions. |
