Bio

I work from a wild passion that has no explanation.

Though I strive for my marks to have integrity, I fail, and I fail, and I fail again. And once in a great while, a mark comes that feels real.

Many of my paintings and drawings are often the result of direct visions. Art has been a way for me to remember and convey these experiences, as well as, occasionally, to communicate inside such experiences.
