I am a multidimensional artist based in NYC. 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.

Characters

In my paintings I attempt to capture the wide range of human expression through a series of interwoven characters.  I like to use playful, dream-like imagery to try and express the fluidity and non-linear nature of human consciousness and perception. 

Growing up I was inspired by the work of Keith Haring, by graffiti artists, and by cartoons. People say that my characters are quirky and I like that each character expresses an individual emotion and personality.

COLLAGE

​In my collages, I explore the way that my brain works and what it's like to be in my head. I incorporate imagery and ideas from science, animals and nature, sexuality, gender, and spirituality. I am inspired by psychedelic art. I am also attempting to explore the fluidity of dream-like and other altered states of consciousness. 

 

Animation

​My animations attempt to explore playfulness and humor in art, but also explore greater social issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

​With my sculptures I attempt to capture the wide range of human expression and emotion through animals and fanciful, imaginary characters.

 

Body Art

​The larger than life characters and highly graphic nature of my work make it uniquely suited for transfer to tattoos and body art. I welcome opportunities to develop characters and imagery for clients or re-orient characters developed in my current work. Below is an example of a drawing and resulting tattoo. I look forward to my next body art commission.
