It is my wish that my artwork may provoke insight for the viewer by allowing them to reflect on their own personal experiences. In this way my artwork may serve as a mirror, a vehicle of self discovery for the viewer as well as for the artist in the process of creation. My artwork reflects deep states of awareness that have been reached through meditation and shamanic techniques and is imbued with the philosophies and teachings of the many great sages who have walked The Path. Much of my artwork manifests from a subconscious place, influenced by the automatist techniques of the great surrealists, and is also greatly influenced by psychedelia, experimental and dark music, as well as the master painters of the past. I strive to blend an eclectic array of artistic and cultural influences with a classically-informed aesthetic to produce artworks that are both visually and conceptually interesting.”
