My Story

 I've been living and working as an artist in Tucson, Arizona for the past fifteen years. I graduated from Ringling School of Art and Design in 2001, had a career as an Illustrator for several years before making my way back to the Sonoran Desert. These days I'm a humble studio artist best known for portraiture. My studio is located on 19 E Toole Ave in Tucson's thriving Downtown Warehouse Arts District.

Lately, my focus has been large collage pieces where I cut-up my existing paintings and piece them back together to make a larger abstract statement. For me, there are few things more cathartic than taking a knife to my own canvas. It allows me to cut-up the past, piece it back together again, and make new connections.

Between my collages and commissioned portraits (and painting weird objects), I teach art. Teaching for the past ten years has been an important part of my life's work and has helped expose my philosophies as an artist and teacher.
