Communication is ubiquitous and diverse. Through my paintings, I am able to creatively express my desire for a more personal connection with others outside the technological cyphoria we have created. My inspiration is simply all verbal and written information. Whether it be literature I read, media I view, individuals I encounter, or stories I am so graciously told, each work of art is a direct representation of my experiences and mass amounts of information consumed throughout my day.

In the era of postmodernism, when the definition of everything is being criticized, my paintings are an abstract conceptual reconstruction of the jumbled thoughts I am discussing in my mind. By conducting a dialectic discourse with the canvas I am able to come to an eclectic conclusion establishing a compass to overcome adversity.

Rather than create a distinguishable image of an object or scene, I convey communication in a consciously streaming visual narrative. By juxtaposing typographical language in a graffito aesthetic, with painted lines and bold color schemes, I can freely express the ideas in my mind and communicate them with viewers in hopes of beginning a conversation.
