In 1995 I began to seriously put brushes to canvas. Lacking the finances and tolerance for "institutions" I begged, borrowed and stole both the tools and knowledge to begin.

Trying different mediums only to keep coming back to oils. They lend such integrity to the work. For me the oils demand "NO FEAR."

Not so much the finished product while I am in the painting as the gift of peacefulness while there.

Never any company, never alone. I'll put the GONE FISHING or WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION sign on the studio door, turn up the music, open the windows, step into the attic of my soul, and P-A-I-N-T!

I dig dumpster diving in the cities. Finding lost objects to paint on.

I really dig working my ass off getting ready for shows. It's all about the RACE, the CHALLENGE.

I've shown in countless bars and coffee shops in Seattle, WA. Black Dog Gallery, outdoor events and private parties. Worked fairs along the West Coast. Opened my studio doors to the public and currently showing at Two Vaults Gallery in Tacoma. Been mentioned in Art Access, The Stranger,  some Belltown rag, Volcano, and Tacoma News Tribune. Got my picture on the cover of U.K.'s Kindred Spirit magazine. Taught life-casting workshops at Two Vaults and chalked streets and painted buildings with children in Mexico.

I want my finished work to illuminate (you know, make the world a better place to live). To go beyond the senses. All the folks who live, work or play with my art are able to look the devil right in the face and smile. That's the story and that's the glory!
