about the artist
I am an American abstract-expressionist painter based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
An art school dropout, I chose to spend over a decade working as a performing circus artist, a career that has given my work its signature bold color palettes and sweeping line quality.
My subject matter explores the elusiveness of personal identity, and the rich experience of emotional narratives through line, color, and scale.
Always concerned with presence, depth, texture, and narrative, my works bring a keen sense of emotion to viewers, evoking passionate reactions from fans and critics alike.
My influences include historical and contemporary artists from Toulouse-Lautrec to Agustí Puig, Pat Stier, and Ricardo Weisse.
