I deal with raw human emotion that is often represented through figures, abstract portraits, or completely abstract images. I use flat saturated color in most of my work because this is how I see our world and society; plainly, dismally, and vividly. Human emotions are the focus of my work, although the content is sometimes revealed to me after the pieces are completed.
I am influenced by the skateboard and outsider art that surrounded me in my adolescence growing up in Cleveland, Ohio. Other strong influences include urban art and any sort of Abstract Expressionism.
