About Me

My next show! I'm a Los Angeles based artist who dabbles in the macabre. My main focus is in painting and illustration, but my specialty is mixed media in three dimensional sculptures and framed works.
My work is most often placed in Hyaena Gallery year-round as well as during my solo show. It is my all-time favorite gallery owned by Bill Shafer who is a lover of the arts and an extroardinary human being. Most of my favorite artists have had their work displayed through Hyaena.

I also book Bats Day every year that I can and show through various clubs and galleries located in Hollywood, Los Angeles, and Sacramento.
I'm a member of the Scary Art Collective. A wonderful group of people that I wish I lived closer to.
My photographer and best friend, Rob Lebeau, is the person who helps my visions come to life. He is far more skilled with a paintbrush than I could ever imagine, and captures the most morbid interpretations of my work through a camera lens.
