    Artist Statement:

    My art is about escaping to a place or time where you felt like a kid, you felt safe, you still dreamed, laughed, you weren’t working every day and paying bills, life was fun, playful, filled with curious wonders, and you were still able to close your eyes and imagine you were on some crazy wild adventure.

    I am influenced by artists such as Henry Matisse, Salvador Dali, and Vincent Van Gogh. My style is a mix of Surrealism and Impressionism. I enjoy using colors to help capture the emotions in my paintings, while trying to tell a story about life. My paintings will most often contain more than one story or message within the work.

    I hope my work can inspire you to find your dreams, live life to the fullest, and take time to share life’s moments with those who matter to you the most.

    Live your dream.
