About Me

My photo
United States
I am a multidimensional, hands-on creative artist and poet with a San Diego based home studio. Having always been too curious and too creative, I have continually studied a variety of artistic disciplines and philosophies throughout my life with established teachers...unstable teachers, artists, schools and whatnot. This, paired with a lifelong investigation into spirituality, has given me a large creative toolkit from which to draw ;) and interest to (respectively) play with, break, challenge, modify, ignore and celebrate the rules related to the aforementioned studies. I am a strong believer in not messing with a child's innate curiosity and wonder, the value of family (however defined), individual creativity, community, and our environment. I continue to study and enjoy creative expressions-with the exception of acid jazz. Some common characteristics found within my work are: re-purposing everyday items and discard-able things, harmonizing opposites, playing with current beliefs and assumptions with a whimsical twist, and delicately blending spontaneity with discipline. The end results are simple, joyful expressions of wonder imbued with an invitation to discover more.

Invention - The Eye Of The Beholder Paintings (part 1)




This new art series demonstrates form/art through words... highlighting assumptions.

Each viewer sees differently - each bring their own unique dictionary, emotional encyclopedia and visual thesaurus with which they inwardly interpret their outside world.

Stripping down the forms - simplifying it's stimulating factors offers the viewer an opportunity to actually see what they bring to their viewing experience. An opportunity to expand their consciousness, their awareness and maybe even open some space within themselves to discover and or explore new possibilities.

This style can magnify the tightly interwoven relationship between perspective and perception...
An art form as an transformational tool...

An exercise in composition...

A conversation piece...

A controversial work of art...

A new movement...
