I'm a painter and a native Californian. My father is a retired Baptist preacher man but I have an open mind about the universe. I try to carry no conclusions because ultimately we humans know very little but slowly learning. Nevertheless, my passion is painting and I like to think of myself as some sort of neo-folk artist. Wood is my favorite surface to paint. I find inspiration in nature, soulful faces, crazy quantum theories, old architecture, untrimmed trees, graffiti, mustard seed flowers, luchadoras, unexplainable lights in the sky, mysterious energy fields, just to name a few. I also love to travel and eat sushi. The galleries which I've shown include The Hive Gallery, Cannibal Flower, La Luz de Jesus, Strychnin Galley (Germany), MF Gallery (NYC), Monkeyhouse Toys, Rock Rose Art Gallery, Fish Out Of Water Gallery (SD), Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, The Grind Gallery, Hanger 1018, Art Slave Gallery, dA Center for the Arts (Pomona), Antagonist Movement (NYC) and the Volkarts events.
