Infected by Art Book - Volume 14

On an average day you can find me either out surfing or in my North County San Diego studio.  In my 20s, long stretches with no solid place to live, constantly moving around, and head injuries left me unsure of my place in the world.  But these tough times and challenges helped to clarify what I wanted out of life… to create art inspired by my love and experiences with nature.

Oil paint allows me to create a unique pop surrealist style with a dark twist of humor.  Using anamorphic figures in landscapes, I touch on social issues and the growing divide between humans and nature, as well as the disconnection from reality that screens are creating.  I like to leave the ideas behind the paintings open for interpretation to keep it light at first glance while giving the viewer more to absorb.
