Artist's Statement
An assortment of animals, crazy characters, mythical monsters, and more are continuously filling my up the inside of my head. I paint them into existence using bold color and a thick and chunky acrylic that begs to be touched. My offbeat style appeals to the young at heart and is guaranteed to provoke a smile.Featured Work
