From the FlimFlam series: Flimflam is based on an old joke. It's a single-panel comic: God is standing on a cloud and talking to an angel, and they're mid-conversation. The caption at the bottom reads: “Look, if I have to explain the meaning of existence, then it isn't funny.

Presentation

Artist Statement:

Living and working in Los Angeles, CA, I am a self-taught accomplished painter whose work draws from various sources, including the founding New York School of expressionistic artists and contemporary culture and work as a performer. 

I paint with energy. I paint with emotion. I paint with impact. For me, painting isn't much about what is represented but how it is painted. It is an experience captured. A still life of an emotion. Art is one of the sources through which the soul expresses itself and inspires others. But to express art thoroughly, one must have the inner emotions opened thoroughly. And, that, is what's put on the canvas.

Creating is more than just a passion; it's a lifeline, a tether to the deeper currents. 
A vessel for rediscovering order within chaos.

I find solace, understanding, and the courage to confront the vulnerability of being human on the canvas. In the act of painting, I relinquish the linear constraints of daily life, permitting myself to embrace the abstract, breathe freely, and channel my emotions in their purest form.
In essence, I paint to transcend the boundaries of my existence to grapple with the questions that define my journey. Through abstraction, I discover new dimensions of self-expression. Art is my sanctuary, my sanctuary is art, and it is here that I explore the interplay of control, chaos, and the profound beauty that emerges in between.
