(statement)
I paint from the inside out and my work is primarily improvised. My artwork fills a void in my life and often takes an exploratory look at the world around me; from social evils to distorted reality and blurred landscapes. My paintings blend the familiar with the frightening, the beautiful with the revolting, and the tasteful with the terrible.
