I work in a variety of media and genres… or as I like to say “which ever medium tells the story”.

My artistic process can be described as an arduous method of creative transformation. At the core there is a private place where alone, within a world of wordless dialogue my library of the subconscious thoughts are allowed to manifest unedited— from the fermentation of an idea to the birth of the genuine work the battle is to maintain equilibrium between the rational control of deliberately executed activity and the instinctive spontaneity of intuitive freedom.

My work tends to appear somewhat playful and sensual – which provides a gateway for the viewer to experience what can be described as covert explorations of gender traditions, sex, race, and sexuality. My guiding mission is to stimulate productive public conversation around these topics.
