About a year ago a close friend referred to my “two daughters”, art and my actual kid, Anya. He nailed it. Two of my biggest loves who take up the majority of my brainspace.  My art practice is a spiritual practice to me and I think of it like a conversation with something a lot larger than […]

I grew up on folk tales, campfire stories, and fantasy novels. For the longest time I was fascinated with surrealism and their ability to impose the bizarre on the mundane. After that I fell in love with the post-impressionist movements such as futurism, expressionism, sublime landscapes and eventually 19th century fantasy illustration. So much of […]

I started my artistic journey focusing primarily on glass. Glass is an amazing medium – it interacts with light and color in so many unexpected ways, and forming it into shape is a process that is both challenging and rewarding. The learning curve for glassblowers is quite steep, but the dream of making a living […]

I consider myself a multidisciplinary artist, with a particular affinity for graphite on paper. I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas, and studied at the Rhode Island School of Design where I received my BFA in Animation. For the last several years I have been living in Brooklyn, New York, working primarily in post-production […]

I am mainly a commission artist. What’s a commission artist doing making bow ties you ask? From start to finish, commissioned art can take a long time before I can see completed artwork, so, I try to find time to design independent works of art, art that is not commissioned. During these times, I flesh […]

My paintings and drawings are pieces in a never ending narrative series that explores memory, nostalgia, and trauma with a dark and surreal humor. I am driven by an ongoing need to examine evidence from the past and transform difficult experiences into visual narratives that reveal meaning or provide comfort. I create illustrative images that […]

Demonstration Plastik abb.163, the piece included in the Small Works exhibition, is a signature work, a particularly interesting bronze sculpture in the collection… describing a farcical situation in which the figure, grasping a commonplace chair and lifting a cinder block brick, becomes a human counterbalance. A crucial tension (bisecting space) is achieved as this figure […]

Born in the Southwest, my family moved to the D.C. area when I was four, where I first remember seeing artwork in museums. We then moved to Rochester, NY when I was eight. By the age of 14, I knew that I wanted to be an artist, and began painting. The family moved back west […]

Have you ever felt that time has stopped, and you can take in everything around you? I had that feeling at the lake during the summer. I looked down into the deep green and saw a turtle slowly glide for cover. Fish darted out from the shadow of my paddleboard. I had no place to […]

I am a painter and graduated from the Academy of Art University, San Francisco. I like to find inspiration in my daily life. For someone who is a bit introverted and shy like me, it is easy to feel embarrassed by anyone’s gaze or actions. This is why I create the Interpreting Discomfort series. Interestingly, […]
