About The Artist
"I have been creating art and music since I was seven years old. I don’t know if it’s an escape from reality or just a part of what makes me feel whole and alive. What I do know is I am driven to create without boundaries"…
“Hi there, thank you for visiting my online Gallery. I have to admit, one of the things I like the least is talking about myself, but here is a little about me. I am a self-taught artist and I paint for a living full time 7 days a week about 11 hours a day and I love it. Every painting I create is like a page in my personal diary. Everything that I feel and live on a day-to-day basis pours out in colors on to the canvas. The one thing that makes me feel truly accomplished as an artist is the connection I share with others through my paintings. After all, art can be just as personal to the buyer as it is to the artist. You have something that someone created with raw passion and the purest of thought only now to become a part of your passion and to represent your individuality. You feel proud to own it, knowing it's an original and the only one of its kind. 95% of my paintings are created on a spontaneous note. I love the feeling that comes over me the very moment I step in front of a blank canvas, no plans, just a rush of pure inner energy as I create until something lights up inside of me telling me the art is complete. I also enjoy the challenge of working with conflicting color pallets and bringing calm to the chaos emphasizing the expressionism side and introducing an eclectic vibe. My focus when creating abstract art is to invoke mood, light and depth without fully defining a scene to allow collectors to use their own imagination and life experiences to fill in the spaces. I use everything I can get my hands on to create my art including oils, clay, charcoal, textured mediums, pencils, paper, rags, ink, acrylics, palette knives, fingers, brushes, sponges and anything else I can find laying around the studio that will add a great effect to the painting or illustration.
I want to give a very special thanks to all of my amazing collectors. I can't express enough my gratitude for your continued support and letters that have brought me to big smiles, and even heartwarming tears.”
Beyond The Easel
My father always told me that I had a creative soul from a very young age. At just seven years old I discovered my love for art, design and music. At 16 years old my entrepreneurial spirit whisked me away and I started designing window displays for boutiques in the shops of Bal Harbour, FL and even created edgy clothes for buddies in rock bands.
I never wanted to be boxed in as an artist. Being told that I needed to pick one style of art made me feel restless and rebellious. Imagine if you were a foodie and could only eat one type of food or had a vast love for music but told you could only listen to one style forever. This is where my saying “driven to create without boundaries” became the foundation of who I am as an artist and a person. Through the years I developed my own styles of abstract and contemporary paintings which I titled “Chaotic Calm”, “Urban Playground” and my “Diepte Kleur” collections.
I’m always challenging myself and this has brought an amazing eclectic energy to my studio where sky’s the limit. You may find everything from Abstract Art to Minimalism, Expressionism, Pop-Expressionist, Geometric Abstracts, Impressionist, Modern Contemporary Art and beyond, I’m all in! If I was asked what type of artwork I love the most my answer would be a “One Of A Kind” 😊
Outside of painting, I adore playing guitar, writing songs and producing music. I also have a strong love for animals and worked in a wildlife rescue center for over seven years. My pup Banksy is my muse and love of my life!
