I primarily work in watercolors creating strong and captivating imagery. My technique is aggressive and loose, having no rhyme or reason for color choice but still being very dedicated to light and shadow to give the subject matter it’s 3 dimensional form.

Visual puns, symbolism, and surrealism are just a few ways I create a strong conceptual image. Many pieces incorporate the human form. There’s just something about expression and gesture in the human form that captures my attention and keeps me experimenting. At the beginning of each piece I ask my self, “what is it that I am trying to say to the viewer? and how can I say it in a new way that hasn’t been said before?”
