About Me

Growing up in the urban areas of Chicago I was exposed to a rich and diverse experience. Being of the Hip Hop generation exposed me to graffiti, break dancing, Hip Hop music and other urban art forms. These experiences and the people associated with them often find themselves in my work. I desire my sculptures to have a presence that allows the viewer to investigate the form and ask questions of themselves.

My Interests

Traveling the globe. capital "A" Art, Indy Movies, Mountains, Hiking, Biking, Rivers, Valleys, Trees and Graffiti. The more Art and Trees the better.
