I'm a people watcher, a curious observer of life. I keep a small sketchbook with me to quickly capture my ideas & observations. Funny, awkward, heartbreaking or beautiful situations catch my eye. I often explore the concepts of our internal voice, the one of self pity, extreme thought & absurd ideas...sometimes that voice is our true essence, and sometimes its just a body snatcher taking temporary possesion.

I draw on elements of folk & outsider art. My quirky, naive style is intentionally childlike, alphabet blocks spell out heart breaking messages and words packed with emotional heat are scrawled in brightly painted backgrounds. I aim for a cartoon-like innocence all wrapped up with a healthy dose of snarky irony. My big goal is to evoke feeling; I want people to laugh, cry or at times even gasp; but at the very least relate to what I’m trying to say. Our relationships with one another, and with the world around us are put under the microscope and depicted as bare bones vignettes of our brief expereience here on earth. What I’m attempting to put on paper is raw emotion: love, hate, joy, regret, revenge, despair, failure, rejection, but mostly hope.
