Welcome to my website
Still inspired by the microscopic form, my most recent series of paintings has shifted from individual groupings of fossilized images to an abstracted focus on the formation of structure and shape. This body of work shows a story of transition from the fossilized stillness of the distant past to the active growth of brand new structure. These abstract works have a morphological feel to them without being literal, leaving the viewer open to their own interpretation. With a consistent sense of discovery and mystery intact, this showing of paintings and scratchboards is a structural segue to future works.
Aside from painting, I have 15 years experience as a professional, licensed, custom tattoo artist, creating one-of-a-kind illustrations and tattoos to fit each individual's needs and wants. At Atomic Art Tattoo Studio in Portland, Oregon, we work to expand the traditional perspective of tattooing.
