Summary & Statements:
I seek to explore the complexities of human emotion—grief, ecstasy, melancholy, bliss, apathy, and desire—capturing the raw intensity of life and death. Through depictions of women and nature, I strive to balance realism and introspection. When working in oil, I paint purely from memory; this ensures that each piece remains true to my vision.
I draw and paint often, so I can be prepared when inspiration strikes. Every day, I study Nature's rules so I know exactly when to break them. I love Nature best when it is sleeping.
​​
Women and Nature are my primary subjects; life and death are my only themes. ​In Women I search for life and in Nature I search for death; but life is not always good and death is not always bad. ​My inspiration comes from the elegance of Vogue, allure of glamour models, and unpredictability of life. ​There is a part of my Wife in every Woman I draw. ​
​
I want all of my works to be free from untruths.
My Education:
I started my self-education in art in 2021; I have no art degree and no intentions of getting one.
"Any of you who have graduated with an art degree have just wasted four years of your life." -Jamie Wyeth
"Don't belong to any school. Don't tie up to any technique. Self education, only, produces expression of self." -Robert Henri
My Bio:
I'm happily married to my soulmate, lover, muse and best friend, Maria.
We have five beautiful kitties and live in Wichita, KS. When I'm not creating or reading I'm probably playing Fortnite or Magic: The Gathering.
