Who am I

I am a visual artist from Chicago. I began making art at the age of 17 and primarily focus on visual art, specifically, painting. I am visually influenced from video games and have been exploring the art of game design, animation, and computer coding. I am a conscientious hard worker, and enjoy pushing myself to learn new things. I am also working on web development and contributing to a website called Skatehive. When I work, I channel my higher self to immerse myself in the moment and nourish the flow state.

    • Artist Statement

    Drawing on outsider art sensibilities, my search for balance within the 2D picture plane involves layering labor-intensive patterns, shapes, and motifs- to create abstract narratives for the viewer to mine visually.20+ years of skateboarding inspire the aesthetics in my work by how I use texture, trial and error, vandalism, and unconventional painting techniques.I think of painting a residual representation of how consciousness creates reality. I want my paintings to comment on the relevance of handmade objects in a digitally saturated world.Other themes explored in my work include ideas about suppressed information, inter-dimensional communication, supersynchronicites, freedom, and the human condition.
