Since I was very young I always loved reading comic books and watching cartoons, and eventually began drawing them. I never imagined that my love will eventually become my profession, and I am so grateful that it happened that way. I attended a local art college where my artistic abilities were expanded into sculpture, painting, design, and sketching. Since graduating, I worked at several cartoon studios and commercials. I am now a freelance artist, which gives me more time to work on my own art. Because of the freedom of freelancing, my creative life today is much more interesting since the diversity of the work is so great.

STATEMENT
My current body of work is a small part of the constant stream of images that rush through my consciousness. In my attempt to retrieve these hidden messages, I try not to edit their content or manipulate their structure. I merely am reporting to the viewer what I have seen. Certainly, many of the images are taken from my childhood memory vault that is steeped in National Geographic, newspaper clippings, the almight Television, and various medical textbooks. For years, I chose not to be capable of reading these "messages" and painted a very sober, almost cursory glance of nature. Now, I attempt to put forth a possible narrative and, in my mind, a potential reality and the viewer can discover for themselves what this means. I hope that this work will spawn other ideas and that this visual experience will make it possible for individuals to adopt more of a global world view. With respect to the nucleus of my work, I hope to awaken an emotion inside us all.
