EDUCATION
I've been an artist from as young as I can remember. I developed a passion for painting in high school. My art is influenced heavily by philosophy and myths, religion and politics.
After years of conventional portraiture, I returned to the fantasy and science-fiction aesthetic which had been much maligned in my teenage years. Returning to a style of art I loved viscerally with a more developed worldview, added a weight to artworks that endeavour to capture a small corner of the world of ideas. These paintings derive from the world of thinking and argument, and the realities of life about which I was blissfully unconcerned during my childhood.
