My multi-layered, mixed media painting combine figures, shapes and the typographic elements that are ubiquitous in our everyday lives. The tools if storytelling – visuals and text – are the foundation of my influence.

The colors I use are bold and inviting. The surface I paint upon is hand-crafted, stretched canvas. The subjects of my work are mysterious, stylish figures and curiously shaped abstracts.

The goal for each finished piece is the successful interplay of words and images. I strive to inspire a story for the viewer, blending strong visuals with the beauty and power of typography. The words in the painting may appear to help tell the story, but the fragmented pieces are there only to add depth, texture and balance – leaving the viewer to their own personal interpretation.
