“I see the world as a dangerous place. However, I am seasoned enough to see the absurdity of it all. My cartoon characters represent both the comedy and tragedy of humanity. In their childlike iconography, they embody a sense of innocent playfulness, yet in their monstrous rendering a dark humor is reflected. This dichotomy creates an interesting tension. In my larger paintings, I invite the viewer in with nice colors and pretty surfaces. But if you look closer, the bite is there.”

“I am a visual person . . . a former graphic designer. I see images everywhere. I love small details, things imperfect, and incomplete. My photos are my visual journal, showing snippets of life. My goal is to transform my photos into pieces of art. Flickr has given me the chance to share my photos, and view those of so many amazing artists.”
