About My Work:

My work is the practice by which I engage with others in the expanding conversation centered on the evolution of human creativity.

Pricing Information:

The work exhibited on this site is taken from my Markings Project. This on-going series of works on paper focuses on the physical power of mark making. Each work sells for $650.
