  • Coming soon.

  • My style is contemporary pop art, using characters to set up art pieces that are satirical and comedic yet eye-opening. Poking fun and making social commentary of the absurd world we live in. I work through a digital medium, I consider some animations I make as performance art, I've printed on canvas, I've done sketches live, have access to augmented reality, create clothing and have printed digital toys. My inspiration ranges from artists like KAWS, Takashi Murakami, Keith Haring, and filmmakers like Walt Disney and Tim Burton. In my artwork, I create characters and create dynamic and fun compositions. Each character belongs in a different world with a different story. My Jaded series was created at a time in life where I worked in the ad agencies and felt disillusioned with the realities of life. Rota and Rez poke fun at the current generation of technology/social media. And the pain cloud motif which is featured in this work is my logo. The first drawing I created after my father passed away symbolizes drifting forward through turbulent times.

  • Inspired by animation, books, comics, movies, and pop-culture. My need to create comes from a want to invoke a thought, to reach out, and start a dialogue. I take what I’m feeling in the moment and capture that energy in an image cased in amber for anyone willing to see.

    Through art, I’m inspired to act bolder (free of censors) and speak up.
