I am the showman. I try to show what is beneath the surface of my subjects, and above the normal conception of their creation. I provide a picture for every thought and a thought for every picture. I do not plan or arrange things in my pictures, I capture them as they are. Then I mutilate their innocent existance into ...

Art has captured me from my earliest memories. As a long-time resident of the Central Valley, I've grown to love the golden hills, majestic oaks and ever-changing farmland that make up this beautiful place. With paintbrush and camera in hand,I strive to catch the seasonal nature of sun and shadow, greens, browns and pleasant sunset hues that comprise our surroundings. ...

Ever since I can remember I have always loved to illustrate and make art. A main part of many of my works have always been focused on the notion of connecting artworks to personal feelings and personal life struggles. This is shown through my portraying of the historical struggles between angels and demons. Many of my digital ...

As a child my dad was very into photography. Often, my siblings and I were his models/subjects. It's been a long and hard transition from being in front of the camera to behind, but it has paid off. After years of photo classes and time learning on my own, I've finally crafted my own style. I don't work with models, ...

Painting is for me a spiritual quest. I believe that the self and its vision is all a form of projection so I don’t think I ever try to paint a scene just as it is; To be honest, I am trying to paint myself, and to reach through meditation to the illusion that is. The paintings are deliberately sparse ...

I paint because, for me, it is an imperative. I have to create, it's like breathing for me.

I usually use oils, it was the medium I ...
