About Me

Statement

I use fantasy illustration and fine art techniques to create surrealist imagery that depicts the chaos that is my imagination. In manipulating the human form, I produce characters that evoke thought, fear and sometimes laughter. Each piece is a composite of mixed media that is layered to produce the desired effect. My work is inspired by my appreciation for Dali, H.R. Giger, and Hans Bellmer.
