A Word From the Artist:
"My work draws from a lifelong fascination with science, popular culture and current events. These tenants are used to explore darker aspects of human experience and psyche. I use humor and color to filter difficult ideas like death, addiction, anxiety and depression in order to subvert superficial tropes or easy answers. These artworks are autobiographical, but are ultimately intended to provide the viewer with an opportunity to peer into the depths of their own inner workings, to see themselves reflected back."
