Artist Statement:
Born and raised in Queens, New
York, recently moved to New
Jersey. I always loved
doodling as a kid, but did not
get more serious about drawing
until high school. That is
when my notebooks started
filling up with doodling
during class. My drawings
would fill up from the back
pages and meet up with my
notes at the middle of the
book. Growing up right outside
of New York City exposed me to
galleries, museums, and city
life from a young age.
Beginning at age 15, I felt
the need to go beyond my
neighborhood and explore so I
started jumping on the subway
to skateboard, walk, and hang
out all over downtown
Manhattan, enjoying all the
diverse culture, art, music
and creativity that was
brewing there. From that point
on, the city became my second
home, spending the majority of
my free time there, seeing
bands, going to clubs,
parties, etc.
My first influences came from
skateboard art, graffiti art,
comics and cartoons. I
attended some art classes to
build a foundation which I
then combined with my
self-taught art, to create my
own unique style. I enjoy
experimenting with different
styles and mediums, never just
settling ...
