Oakland-based visual artist
Welcome to my art’s online home. I use simple materials to transfer a jumble of experiences, thoughts, and feelings to paper. I enjoy working intuitively, letting drawings unfold with limited planning. I aim to capture the excitement found in visuals around me and hint at those seen behind closed eyes.
This site is a snapshot of drawings in flux. Much of what you see no longer exists that way. Periodically, I scan new images and reconcile pixels with paper.
Inspirations include the feelings of Kay Sage and Leon Spilliaert paintings, Renoir‘s use of color, Herbert James Draper‘s tones/linework , ‘70s horror/sexploitation films, Victorian Gothic interior design, basically everything about Emil Ferris‘ work, internet chaos, and natural beauty.
