For me, art has never belonged to one form. Painting, drawing, music, film, performance — even human connection and conversation — all feel like different expressions of the same creative current. The more I explore new mediums, the more they seem to speak to one another, forming a larger picture that continues to reveal itself over time. It’s as if the work has built its own creative universe — one that feels deeply personal to me, yet strangely familiar to others.

Each stage of the process informs the next. More often than not, I feel the art is revealing itself rather than being made by me. Each piece arrives as a surprise, and I’m simply there to catch it — staying open, responsive, and out of the way of whatever’s trying, or sometimes demanding, to take shape.

I began with photorealistic oil painting and drawing, teaching and exhibiting for several years before moving into mixed media, collage, and encaustics. Those shifts opened a freedom I hadn’t realized I was missing. I learned that the more tools I gather, the less resistance there is between the idea and the finished work — each new method clearing more space for the art to find its own direction.

The biggest turning point came with Atomic Awakening, my first music album. Writing and producing music showed me that sound and image aren’t separate at all — they’re part of the same voice, the same pulse. That realization reshaped everything. I began to see my paintings, songs, and performances as one unfolding story revealing itself through different forms — each medium part of a single, living body of work.

Aesthetically, I’m drawn to the intersection of past and future — bygone imagery meeting the color and surrealism of the psychedelic experience. My work has been described as dark yet childlike, serious yet playful; futuristic, surreal, nostalgic, and earthy. With augmented reality, I’m able to move the work literally beyond the surface, inviting viewers into living, shifting spaces that evolve as they explore.

Ultimately, my goal is to create spaces and experiences that invite curiosity, reflection, connection, and transformation. I hope the work resonates with those who encounter it — offering a feeling, an insight, or a glimpse of their own story reflected back to them.
