I am a 30 year old Independent Artist. I live in the Prince George’s county area and I travel all over the DMV instructing Sip and Paint parties and doing face painting.

I work in both sculpture and painting on canvas and Arches paper. My work follows two basic stylistic approaches; one is scattered or seemingly random shapes on a single ground. By varying the density and color, I can change the emotional trajectory and content of the composition. The second approach explores the use of spirals and loops as purely linear forms. In these paintings the pigment is applied by being extruded from plastic syringes of various sizes. By this method my work avoids the pictorial.
