Artist Statement

My art exists on the fringes, where the conventional meets the eccentric, where the lines blur between tradition and innovation. As a queer, nonbinary artist, my journey is one of self-discovery and self-expression, where the personal and the artistic intertwine.

I revel in the realm of outsider and low brow art, where boundaries are mere suggestions and creativity knows no bounds. My work takes on many forms, from the traditional to the avant-garde, always guided by a unique pen and ink style that dances with fluidity, each line speaking to a story yet to be told.

At its heart, my art is a reflection of the boundless spectrum of human experience. It is an exploration of diversity and identity, embracing the cute and the bizarre, the sweet and the strange. My portfolio spans from designing children’s books, with their innocent wonder, to crafting wedding invitations that celebrate the beauty of love in all its forms. My art finds its way onto stickers, clothing, tattoos, and banners, a visual manifestation of the endless facets of life.

My journey as an artist began at Paier College of Art in 1994, where I honed my craft and embarked on a lifelong adventure of creative expression. With my artwork, I seek to challenge norms and perceptions, inviting viewers to see the world through a different lens, one that is as diverse and multifaceted as the art I create.

As a queer, nonbinary artist, my identity is woven into every stroke of my pen and every burst of color in my work. My pronouns are they/him, a testament to the fluidity of identity that I aim to capture in my art.

Join me on this artistic odyssey, where the unexpected becomes the norm, and where the canvas of life is painted with the vibrant hues of individuality. Let’s explore the beauty of diversity, the power of self-discovery, and the limitless possibilities of creative expression.

Love,
