I live in the amazing city of Portland Oregon. Like almost everyone here, I am a transplant. I grew up in California, traveled around the world for a few years after high school, and then attended RISD where I studied painting. Ever since I was a young kid, I have always wanted to be an artist. And while Im not supporting myself with my day job, the best bet on where I will be is behind an easel or with my drawing materials in hand.

As an artist, I think one of my biggest problems is that I like so many different things. I think that I can do whatever I set my mind to well. Over the last couple of years I have been focusing on what I call narrative drawings. These drawings tell a part of a story. Not the start, or the finish, just a piece somewhere in the middle. Its up to the viewer to figure out what is going on. Still, the comments I am getting are along the lines of 'your all over the place with these'. So I am trying to build up a half dozen themes. Thats mostly what you will find on my personal ARTWORK page
