One night I was watching "Fight Club" and paused a scene to read some graffiti in the background which said "I like myself, I like myself...". At the time I was doing self-portraiture and these words sparked this painting about the battle between our good sides and bad. There is a sweet side, but then a doppelgänger, armed with a poker waiting to take us out. A reminder that if we aren't our own best friend, no-one will be.

I maintain a studio in an artist colony in Los Angeles, California. Much of my recent work reflects on contemporary society and the political upheaval currently featured on the news. My interpretations are combined with my unconscious and become self-portraits of sorts- of a dark and quirky inner life. No one meaning predominates, only states of ambiguity, where strong undercurrents of emotion combine with murky, dream-like scenes of danger and destruction and contribute to a disjointed sense of unease in an unpredictable world.
