" I am driven by a strong sense of curiosity for self-exploration along with a love for both contemporary street art and traditional fine art. I began this journey at the age of 3 and never stopped. As a kid, with the encouragement of my mother, I often found myself expressing and exploring my imagination with pencils and paper; drawing my favorite athletes, cartoons, comic characters, and occasionally the family dog. Along with my own personal perspectives, feelings, and experiences much of my work today is a continuation of these childhood fascinations. The mediums, color pallets, surfaces, and subject matters choosen from one body of work to the next all serve as vehicles to what I feel are the two most valuable aspects of creation: the act of self expression & the process of experimentation.
