Artist / Musician / Astrologer / Creator

Bio
“My art is more often done with intention than not. I go to the canvas with
purpose rather than flow, though perhaps this is evolution as I find my
personal style. Knowing this, I feel a sense of achievement when something is
complete, whether or not it actually manifests into the initial vision. My
paintings are reflective of an emotional process as well as a creative one. There
is also a symbolic quality to my work, almost always having a theme or some
meaning I am aware of, rendering very personal pieces. I have had to adjust
and indeed, welcome the notion that one never knows what appeals to another
with art. That is to say, a piece may not be appreciated for what I set out for
myself in painting it, yet appreciated nonetheless, and that fact is thrilling to
me. The works are like Talismans at this point for me.”
