I am a self-taught, acrylic artist. I work on many canvases, sometimes ten to fifteen at the same time. I go back and forth between the paintings in an intense and seemingly reckless manner, dragging colors over colors until the canvas disappears behind a newly formed, heavily textured surface. This background serves as the foundation of the painting. From this point, I often create surreal landscapes which present exaggerated color and glowing foliage. If i continue, I paint a story into the landscape by forming images that are often unrelated to each other except in dreams. I also paint abstract portraits of people and mystical animals. My work is often of a spiritual nature and sometimes presents apocalyptic themes. At the start of a painting, I do not have a completed image in mind. The picture evolves as I work based on a variety of internal and external factors.
