Artist Statement -



Since the time I was a small boy I have always enjoyed creating things and drawing things of this life. It gives me a secure feeling and connection to this world among humanity to create
with my visually inspired eyes.
Through color, shape, texture and reflectiveness of different materials collaged into my mixed media paintings and other works. I have always been attracted to shinny things and wanted to share what I have seen with others. My paintings have relatable memory to what I have witnessed in all my years in this life and some that I have imagined in my minds eye. With that I have strived to let the human race see through my eyes and reason with my mind.
