My New York School, Washington Color School, and San Francisco beat era influences are readily identifiable in my work, despite my blending them together. Mark Rothko, Ellsworth Kelly, Robert Motherwell, and Hans Hofmann are my greatest artist influences, though many other artists have contributed to the development of my process which often involves working on several pieces simultaneously that utilize hard-edge as well as painterly techniques. I value experimentation over cohesiveness, I am interested in religion, philosophy, mythology, technology, and the psychology of art, and I am inspired by modern, post-minimalist, and futuristic aesthetics. Although I didn't attend art school, I hold a Masters degree in school psychology and am working on my PhD in psychology. 

Having begun my career as an artist during Covid, I have not yet had the opportunity to exhibit my work. My primary short term professional goals are to begin to regularly exhibit my work and, ultimately, to be represented by a well respected gallery in order to have a consistent outlet for my art. I also plan to exhibit installations, and have already completed a self-financed project consisting of 39 individual canvases. I have applied for several shows in Southern California for early 2022, including The Other Art Fair.
