Making art has been a big part of my life and I use the influences of my life on my art.

Everything from my travels to Mexico and Yosemite to my long-time interest in skateboarding and my love of nature, as well as my pets, have been the source of my painting and drawing inspiration. During my education at the San Francisco Art Institute (where I also worked as a Groundskeeper) I was lucky enough to study with Carlos Villa who unfortunately passed away earlier this year (2013).

Among my exhibitions are Southern Exposure, San Francisco, CA, 2005, “Minor Keys” a juried youth art exhibit; Mills Building, San Francisco, CA, 2006, “Through the Looking Glass” art exhibit curated by Richard Olsen; and Everett Middle School, San Francisco in 2006, “The Beacon” a solo exhibit of my drawings and paintings.
