About Me



I was born in 1985. My work embodies the views I had as a child; back when everything was new and inspiring (everything still is), but with the sophistication that comes with getting older. I find that I am still into the things that I was as a child, but I have a deeper more mature understanding of them. I try to bridge the gap between the wonderment of a child, and a contemporary approach to the various art movements that inspire me as a young adult. Bottom line, I think art is swell.
