As a lifelong artist, I create art with expression, color, texture, movement, and passion. The art that I create takes on a life of its own. There is a force, a creative energy that speaks to me and I put that into my creations.
Being an artist means to inspire something amazing in others. To me, this means changing how people view the world, causing them to question things, spreading love and peace. In other words, art inspires revolution.
As an award winning contemporary artist, I participate in shows at Portland Galleries and Businesses. I work with a variety of mediums, and I love working with acrylic paint, ink, and colored pencils. My style is expressionist, impressionist, abstract, contemporary, and psychedelic. I am inspired by love, by the metaphysical, by my imagination, dreams and meditations, by nature, psychedelics, the human figure, supernatural, and the surreal. I love playing with layers of texture, vibrant colors and spirals.
I am also an illustrator and designer.
Being an avid Bitcoin enthusiast, I accept Bitcoin as a form of payment. I am passionate about Bitcoin as both an amazing technology, and as a digital currency that is revolutionizing how the world trades.
I encourage you to request custom orders and commissions, and if there is an original painting or drawing of mine that you want as a print, please request it!
