About Me

Within the framework of automotive art I have produced a variety of work exploring numerous themes. I have been primarily interested in Surrealism and have made works that conform to this genre. I’m particularly intrigued and inspired by Magritte’s visual metaphors and his ability to infuse his work with an underlying spirit of mystery and humor. I have also been fascinated by magical realism and generally exploring and exploiting the plasticity of the medium. I'm currently working on a series of pieces that involve my interest in pulp art and film noir. I consider myself a master craftsman in almost all phases of the making of three dimensional cast artwork having been at it for over 25 years.
