As a contemporary American artist and painter I combine imagery and inventive abstracted forms in an expressive, surreal landscape, moving freely between abstraction and figuration. Organic shapes blend and contrast with geometric and imagined worlds using mixed media collage techniques with gestural brushwork. It has been an interest to make sense of chaos and order in nature and combine the intersection of the two. Influenced by the unpredictable aspects of life, I find beauty in unexpected places, and the painting process is intuitive and experimental as  the work evolves. A quote that David Bowie famously said "Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.”
