I have always been an inquisitive observer. Driven by my curiosity, I feel the need to document and record the visual oddities and tales I witness in the objects and people that surround me in my daily life. My art explores the power of itself to convey emotion and story through imagery, its own creation, as well as the nature of subjects brought to life. My observations can be simple, poignant, spiritual, or even comical, but my paintings always reflect these observations and the emotional connections I associate with them."

My Background
I use many different paint mediums, such as acrylics and oils. I believe that working in a single medium is restrictive to my artistic process and each medium carries its own qualities that are necessary in conveying such things as motion and emotion.

This painting was always interesting to me because it was one of my first 5 paintings ever and I wanted to do a painting of Christ up on the cross, for no reason at all, but only visible from the neck up, and I figured it would just be assumed it was Christ from the crown of thorns... after finishing the painting i was just not feeling like it was right and it sat for a year or two without me doing anything to it all except look at it repeatedly with disappointment, and then one night I couldn’t sleep so I just got up at 3:00 am, went into my art room and painted over his ridiculous crown of thorns, and just made him a bald man and went back to bed a little more satisfied. When I woke up the next morning I went into my art room to contemplate all the unfinished paintings and forgot what i had done previously that night. I looked at the Christ I made bald and I could see that I had missed one of the thorns from the crown of thorns and, it was now just a bald man with a horn protruding from his head, and i liked it because it seemed provocative....but I eventually looked up (in books because it was over 25 years ago) Christ and a horn protruding from his head and I saw that in whatever text i had found that the #antichrist supposedly would fool everyone into thinking he is everyones saviour, and the masses fall for it until a horn protrudes from his head and he is revealed to be the antichrist .. im not religious in any way although i find them all fascinating in their own aspects and I really like this painting because it just seems so iconic and strange how this painting of the antichrist would come into existence in the same steps and fashion as how i read it would supposedly actually happen in the book of revelations or whatever it may be. It's one of many paintings that has come into existence in my life and just has this crazy story.... and it's starting to be really.common in my artwork. So common that now I look for the message, or the reveal, or the universe trying to manifest itself, and I just try to help facilitate it when I can.
