I've been drawing and making art since I was a child, but was always told that no form of art would ever lead me to a lucrative career path.

 

Growing up, I had a number of very beautiful and interesting girl friends, and often felt overlooked. Despite my earnest attempts at keeping up with these girls, I got lost in the current and discovered an opposite, and more fitting route. I basked in the inviting warmth of counterculture. Around the age of 13 I began spending my time sewing myself outfits from Goodwill clothes, and drawing fan art of my favorites bands. The unusual combination of nu-metal, emo, and rave culture led me to cultivate an unusual identity for myself, one which is still evolving to this day. 

​

Over twenty years later, I'm still inclined to take the road less traveled. I've managed to create a career for myself that incorporates so much of my passions and curiosities, despite spending the majority of my life lacking confidence. My work is inspired by life experiences and their parallels to music, history, and folklore. ​
