I am a contemporary multidisciplinary artist focused on California Realism.

My paintings and assemblages have shown at several California museums and galleries, including the De Young Museum, Triton Museum of Art, and the Museum of Northern California Art.
While I am primarily a painter I am also well known for my assemblage works, in which I use found materials to create beauty from refuse (such as car window glass and traffic cones).
In my painting practice, I work on at least one or two series at a time, pausing to do spontaneous paintings of things that move me in the moment.
Far from being a photo-realist, I strive to paint and draw in abstraction, meaning the closer you get to my pieces, the more you will see they kind of fall apart into fun and interesting layers.
As a draftsman at heart, I know that if I can nail the composition and perspectives right away, the rest is all play, light, and magic. To that end I’ll often do studies, then sketch out the piece, then paint. This process takes a bit more time, but I enjoy the process and the results speak for themselves.
I sincerely have the best job in the world.
