Old signage, weathered and painted over with graffiti — faded colors against brick and cement walls — rusted fences and doors...
The urban landscape and deterioration of my neighborhood in Mid-City Los Angeles is a direct influence to my work.
My style combines muted, complementary colors with texture and typography. I use water-based mixed media on canvas and wood. The painting process is normally achieved by staining, scratching, ripping and sanding the surface. The ability to expose underlying layers is what I find most challenging and rewarding.
Studied graphic design and advertising design at The Academy of Art University in San Francisco. During college I began working in design studios and print shops. My professional career in painting and photography began in 1995 at The Art Explosion in San Francisco.
Check back often for new paintings, photos, news and links.
