I was and still am inspired by the works of Picasso, Dali, Bacon, 60's POP artists
and old black& white horror movies.

My vision grew to become an abstract expressionist/surrealistic/sci-fi way of painting
dreamscapes on canvas using acrylic paint, house paint, found objects, and assorted 
other media. I interpret energies from spiritual, supernatural, and otherworldly forces. 
I read a lot of sci-fi authors such as Frank Herbert, Octavia Butler, and Vernor Vinge. 
I am also very interested in the channeled writings of SETH. These ideas and characters 
from novels and readings show up in my paintings as powerful and sometimes disturbing 
images in saturated, mostly primary, colors.

I consider myself an Outsider Artist.
