About Me

I am an abstract and surrealist painter. I daydream of the inner workings of the brain and portray the colors that swim in my mind. I am Intrigued by the mechanical ingenuity and intricacy of the human body; it's flaws, it's strengths and it's short circuits. I explore the spectral world of love and relationships, mankind and machines, machines and love, machines in love.I paint road maps of the nervous system. I break things so I can build it again. I build things to break it down. I struggle with perfection in every piece and fight between leaving things messy and neat. I work for a patent law firm drawing inventions and funky devices. Its fun but some people invent some stupid shit. I love art.
