I am a self-taught painter creating unique abstract expressionism. I originally studied Graphic Design at Parsons School of Design in NY and the Detroit Institute of Art. While in school I realized I didn't want to create "art" designed to sell a product, I prefer creating things that are true to me and unique in my eye. I decided to drop out and pursue a computer science degree while still continuing to paint on the side for myself. I paint in the abstract format because there is no plan or rules. Abstract paintings, for me, take on a life of their own. I tend to start a piece with a broad idea based on an emotion or an element in nature and then allow my brush to take me where the painting needs to be. I rely heavily on the emotion of the painting and love creating the individual characteristics in each work of art that create each piece's unique concept. I use brushes and a palette knife to give each painting texture and depth while maintaining a minimalistic feel. I see and feel what is true for me when I am painting and looking at a finished product. The most I can hope for is another person to have their own connection with one of my works of art.
