Artist Bio

Since the very first crayon I picked up, and scribbled coloured nonsense to paper, I’ve wanted to be an artist. Throughout the years, I’ve spent my artistic time delving into unique mediums, trying to find my flair. My canvas types have included scrap wood, driftwood, vinyl records, discarded mirrors, and classic stretched canvas. My paint mediums have included acrylic, oil, wine, coffee, glitter, pearlescents, and most recently metallic acrylics and oils. My subjects vary from animal and human portraits, to fantasy surreal, to movie and television pop culture.

My life pursuits inspire the artwork I create. My work in concert and festival production has inspired musician portraits. My time volunteering with birds of prey has inspired animal portraits. Favourite films and TV have inspired my paintings as well. My hope is that my artwork will serve a greater purpose than just "something nice to look at"... I want it to be an instrument of positive change.
