Statement : 

I have a thing for realism and minimalism. With my background in photography I see things within a frame. By learning to focus on what’s primary in a scene and just develop that imagery it doesn’t need a bigger context or classic scene. This lets the viewer imagine their own context and story. That’s what can make a piece personal to each viewer.  I learn as I go, improving my technique and how I use color. Experimenting more with texture and classic looks. Always trying to achieve new levels of harmony and finesse. Since I’m self taught I’ve figured out a mixture of medias that I use to achieve my drawings. Through mixing and layering color pencil I have found a painterly style to make my affects happen.

Bio: 

California native, currently living in Truckee.  Both of my parents are artists and also growing up in Carmel gave me a great creative environment.  Discovering photography very early, around ten, helped me find my unique vision and sense of aesthetics.  I was always drawing, figuring it out on my own. In college, Cal Poly SLO, applied art and design with photography were my studies. To give myself time to find my direction and style I landed in the restaurant business, so the night time career was supporting my art career.  I found  opportunities exhibiting my art through out California and Scottsdale Az through gallery features.  Dealing with the demands of life there have been slow times, and challenges, but currently and for the past few years I am constantly working and making my most exciting work.
