I am a full time professional artist whose work ranges from the sublime and fantastic to modern contemporary abstract. A commercial graphic artist for over 25 years, I honed many of my skills in the often cut throat arena of independent graphic illustration, creating shirt designs,tattoo flash,cd art, as well as magagzine and book illustrations. In 2001 I decided to leave the field of commercial art and devote myself entirely to my own work. My art has been exhibited in a variety of Northwest galleries and competitions as well as being in numerous private collections across North America.
In 2002 I started selling art on Ebay as a self representing artist. I found that I could connect with people actually looking to buy art more quickly and on a larger scale through selling on Ebay than being represented in galleries. I'm able to sell directly to the collector, which is something I enjoy immensely.

I have been drawing and painting as long as I can remember. My mother was a landscape painter and always encouraged me to be creative and to try new techniques. By the time I left high school I was playing music in bands and creating posters and t-shirts to sell for the musical groups I was in, all the while painting and doing various sculpture work on the side. Eventually I landed a job at a screen printing company who needed an artist for preproduction work . Creating designs and getting them ready for production. I was also doing layout and illustration work for various small publications and record companies. In my off hours I worked in a small studio where I could escape and create art of my own choosing, using found materials and various mixed media. In time I decided to leave the graphic arts field and concentrate entirely on my own work. This has been one of the most challenging and enjoyable periods of my artistic career.

I grew up in a very religious family and though I have secular beliefs, I find that the concepts of theology and the struggle of the human spirit to be quite fascinating. The battle of good against evil, the clash of ideologies, conflict and the whole tribal competitiveness that is man. These are the underlying themes that flow out of my work. For about the last 2 years I have been working and experimenting in abstract expressionism. Learning to use texture and form and color to create strong and interesting art. No matter what I do I will always be making strong statements. Art is not for the weak and creation is always tough work, but I wouldn't have it any other way. It's what I do. It's what I am.
