I was born and live in Carmichael, CA. I'm a mostly self taught, multi media
artist. I studied painting, drawing, design, and welding at Sacramento City
College and American River College. Since 2002 I've shown work in solo and
group shows across California and Arizona. My work has won many awards
and is included in the permanent collections of the UC Davis Medical Center
and the California Medical Association in Sacramento.
As far back as I can remember I've felt a need to make things; I've never lacked
inspiration or drive. My process of making art has evolved to include more
chance and experimentation, letting the materials work and using those
materials in unconventional ways. Frank Zappa said, "Without deviation,
progress is not possible". I try to remember that statement while working, to
avoid getting hung up in default modes. Even though I'm collaborating with
chance, I still want the work to feel purposeful.
"Ever since I was a child I have had this instinctive urge for expansion and
growth. To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere
and honest development of one's potential."
-Bruce Lee
"Press my type on others? Dreadful. Is not my happiness precisely the sight of
many who are different?"
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Those two ideas can change the world.
