About.
I am a fine artist, specialising in large scale oil paintings, prints, works on paper and sculpture. My work explores the mind, the presence of emotions and reactive states of abstract thought. I cover autobiographical topics, often allusive, to create bonds between physical representations of human emotional experiences. The work is raw, uncensored and fast paced, documenting my life as though it were pages from a diary. I want people to have complicated relationships with art in the same way we do with our emotional states. The work expresses a certain instinctualism that reveals the human desire to create in the face of psychological revelations.
