I'm a 33 year old painter living in Colorado, USA. I paint outsider, metaphoric
My art is highly symbolic, which allows me to convey many ideas within one painting. Some of my ideas come from "visions" or hallucinat
I paint my art with certain themes/meanings in mind but they are not the only interpretations. I enjoy when people find their own meanings within my work. In this regard the art becomes many paintings in one. I like to evoke emotion and feeling in my art first and foremost. I don't care what feelings people get when they look at my work but just that the FEEL SOMETHING. If I have accomplished that then I have done my work as an artist.
My influences: Vladimir Kush, Salvador Dali, Pablo Piscasso, Jackson Pollock, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Samy Charnine, Jacques Resch, Rafal Olbinski,
I paint mostly in oils but also acrylics. I also write a blog and am working on a book. I'm always interested
