My large-scale, near wall-sized, paintings convey a wide range of expression of human emotion and personality through fanciful, cartoon-like animals and characters. In sculpture, I make these characters three-dimensional and am now exploring transferring my graphic images into body art, and bringing them to life in animated works with real-world issues. My collages contain imagery from science, nature, the human body, and animals and explore the way my brain works and what it is like to be in my head. Being a transgender man has expanded the range of human experiences that I investigate in my work.
