Currently living in England and painting on my iPad.

I'm originally from Montana and studied at Saint Mary's College of California in Moraga. Since 1988, my work has been exhibited at the Hearst Art Gallery, California 1989 – 1992; San Francisco, Montana and Colorado.

I began playing tennis at the age of 5 and started traveling the U.S. by himself, at age 12. With exposure to the outside world that only few get to experience in a lifetime. At a young age I matured quickly learning what lurks around every street corner. From the crack addicts of Philadelphia, to the Bubble Lady of Berkeley, the stamped concrete in Ann Arbor stating, “A woman was raped here”, and the nude beaches of Vancouver, British Columbia it was just the beginning of an adventure for a young teenager.

I'm influenced on many levels. Rodney Allen Greenblat and his whimsical world. Kenny Scharf and his futuristic approach to popular culture. Roy Schmaltz, one of California’s finest landscape painters. Jean-Michel Basquiat for not being afraid. Bjorn Borg for always being at my side. This just touches the surface for inspiration. Music, people on the street, hero’s, the curve balls that come with life, they all play a key role for creating momentum and ideas.

My current collection will showcase a large body of work I’ve created while living in England.
