My art explores our natural propensity for abstract thought . This concept has developed and continued to evolve throughout the stages of my artistic career. Most recently, I have focused on the experience, allowing the creation of the piece itself to inspire it conceptually. My work explores spirituality, love, interconnectedness and our ability to dream and express a full spectrum of human emotions.
I have always been extremely passionate and completely distracted by my own fascination. Fascination for nature, art, music, film and writing. I grew up on The Doctor, Silverstein, and Calvin and his tiger. I became drawn to names like Hendrix, Morrison, Vonnegut and Kerouac. Inspired by vivid imagery, eloquent words, experimental sound, thought provoking concepts and abstract perspectives. Live performance is what introduced me to improvisation. From cosmic rock compositions to the powerful poetry of hip hop. This freestyle approach is what I try to bring to my live experience-based paintings. A release of emotion through free-flowing, unfiltered thoughts. Approaching a piece without a pre-conceived concept has allowed me to break down my own artistic boundaries.
With my progression into the realm of performance art, I will continue to evolve through collaboration, experimentation, and an open-minded approach to all things artistic. I was born and raised in the Philadelphia area, studied art in Florida, and now I am eager and excited to continue my growth in California. I approach each day as a wide-eyed observer, embracing everything and immersing myself in a world of creativity.
