I'm awe-inspired by cross sections of organisms at varying magnifications. I'm constantly interested in Abstract Minimalism and Maximalism as unopposing forces. And I have a general appreciation of chromatic psychedelia both literally and imagined.
My art life began in late 90's San Francisco and spent almost twenty years evolving and exhibiting paintings and sculptures in New York City.
Since then I've packed up and have started a family and have established new roots in Canada. After a few years in Toronto, I've rediscovered myself as a painter and sculptor.
