Artist Statement:
Most of my ideas for a painting usually begins in flashes of color and daydreams. Much of my inspiration can come from a combination of a vivid dream, music, film, nature, or simply a color palette that I want to use in a painting. Color plays an important role in my process of creating illustrations and often I see an arrangement of colors first before the image has fully realized in my mind and on paper. My childhood has influenced many of the pieces I created which have evolved through adulthood.
Much of my recent artwork has been designed for use as merchandise such a stickers, greeting cards, postcards, t-shirt designs, etc.
