Statement
The work I create is about capturing energy—the intentional and the spontaneous. Using reclaimed paper, manuals, magazines, and textbooks I create layered artwork that demands more than the casual glance. My art is about juggling time, color, and balance. I always strive to create art that is bold, physical, and has an overall element of fun. The editing process is about layering–adding and covering back up. My current work is rugged and blends areas of control with those of absolute chaos, wielding paint, markers, spray paint, and using whatever tools I can find.
