About the Artist:

I am a multi-disciplinary artist living and working in Houston, Texas. I moved here in 2000 to obtain a degree in Graphic Design. After working on that field for several years, I made the move to full time artist in 2012.

I am attracted to artwork that reveals the artist. Random marks, scrawls and scratches combined with spills, fingerprints and smudges whether placed intentionally or subconsciously all come together the create the work just as it is meant to be. Every mark has a purpose and plays a part in making art. I find that the imperfect ruins in things ultimately create perfection. My work is a combination of abstract expressionism and figurative with a focus on text derived from lyrics, historical documents, poetry and other writings all coming together to create an entirely new narrative.
