I am fascinated by what lays beneath the surface of the shiny, clean and accepted. The carnival that once was new and bright but is now creaky and run down. The faded elegance of an old tuxedo being worn by one believes “that is the proper way to dress“. The surgically enhanced body. Happy paint chipping away to reveal a rusted damaged body. Growing up one of my influences was the transparent anatomy pages that when flipped reveal blood and muscles intense and brilliant. I take a similar approach in creating my subjects. I want to expose what they are thinking, their urges and how they see themselves. I present them inside out. Who they are becomes how they look and how they interact with each other. And they are all desperate for the goodtime that will eventually lead to disappointment. Born in Los Angeles, and raised in Brooklyn and now living in New Jersey. I attended the School of Visual Arts. My art has been shown at many venues including solo exhibits at the Assembly Room Gallery, The Chocolate Factory, Buzzer Thirty, Jungle Science, Index Art and the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts.
