For as long as I can remember I have always been creatively driven in life. I remember as a child trying to emulate skateboard graphics and later in high school being greatly influenced by grafitti art. In class I spent more time glued to my sketch book in deep concentration than following the prescribed curriculum. This is the reason why after high school my next logical step was to study art.

San Francisco is where I would spend the next six years of my life—studying, absorbing, growing and living. The City has offered me copious amounts of creative stimulation ranging from the atmosphere and attitude on its streets to my friends and fellow artists.

As I've grown as an artist and an individual, my work has attracted some attention but I feel things have only just begun. My time is now spent creating works for numerous exhibitions and events as well as select commisions. It is through my passion and dedication that I hope to gain a better understanding of painting and of myself.

As I grow, I find it more difficult to achieve personal satisfaction from my art but this only compels me to work more diligently and to be more innovative in my creative process. I am driven by my reminiscings of childhood and trying to obtain the uninhibited creativity and curiosity about art that I had back in the day.
