Statement

I have been an artist all my life. I realized I was an artist when I was nine years old. I have done many forms of art throughout my 70 years of existence. My newest works are inspired by politics, pop, the internet, and computer culture as well as personal experiences and history. I develop my ideas on my computer primarily with  Adobe Photoshop and then transfer those ideas to a wooden panel to be painted.
