Night Drive Painting

Born in 1973, the son of a sculptor/biker dad and hippy chick/biker mom, I grew up in Phoenix, AZ before moving east in 1997. "It doesn't matter one bit what you choose to do in life, just make sure you're happy doing it". Words spoken into my life by my dad and words I live by today. Since I was "knee high to a grasshopper", I watched my dad's creativity birthed in the form of sculpture. Watching this was nothing less than inspirational and a model of his own words in action. This set the wheels in motion on the choices I have made in life. Through this journey I have worked my creativity out through various mediums and found a special place residing in my heart for storytelling. I have always been intrigued by the dualities and changes we face as we take each step in life. These subjects being primarily life and death, struggles of spirituality and loss of innocence. My work focuses at these subjects through the lens of deeper exploration into the details around us that we often take for granted.
