Artist statement

I’m leaning toward an exploration of duality between imagination and reality, and I use an eclectic collision of references to express the memory of many of my early visual impressions.

I often feel like my work is the embodiment of a teenager's disordered imagination filtered through my technical skills.

My Inspirations are diverse: the energy in 90’s television commercials, Saturday morning cartoons, Rambo, Ninjas, Super Heroes, symbols found in the imagery of the occult, clowns, and geometric forms.

We are in a world bombarded by images and media. I want my work to have its own unique character that combines the aesthetics of the past, and the energy of the present. Ironically, Through this chaos, I am aiming to slow down the attention of the viewer. I want someone to think an extra second before describing my work to someone.

CV-

I was awarded a 2019 scholarship to Haystack Craft School in Maine and trained under amazing oil painter Jenny Brillhart who is represented by Kuckei Gallery Linienstrasse 158 Berlin, Germany.

I provided clothing designs that went into production for the Chicago 2018 Mexican pride “Cinco De Mayo” festival located in Pilsen, Chicago.

I’m a Chicago based artist providing my services to whoever is looking to improve their visual presence.
