                        Passion vs Logic

All my life I have been a nonconformist. February 19th 2018 marked my 6th year painting.  Prior to painting I was a small business owner  questioning what was missing in my life.  After a difficult period art was literally beat into me. Not a fun  but very humbling time. When I sold my business  I threw everything into art and learning .. not traditional learning such as techniques or styles. I was learning  for first time about Dan Guido. This is  my story about painting through the darkest hour.

I relive my youth through my art which comes from a place where memories, hopes & dreams intermingle.  As far as I am concerned these are the artist tools.  evolving my art from angst swirly emotions to  life vs passion vs Logic through my eyes. We live right and still can be misunderstood in so many ways. Often times I catch myself viewing the world trying to slay a dragon.  I then  realize that you can't look at this life like your slaying a dragon . You have to look at this life with soft eyes. Somewhere between self love and self hate you will find me working on the never ending processes of my art  and  my life .

I have had four solo shows and in over 50 group shows since my emergence in the art world I have paintings sold to 9 different collectors world wide and several Domestic collectors that keep my spirits afloat with amazing patronage.
