By nature, we are compelled to create. By design, we are imbued with imagination. From birth, we are gifted with vision. Through life, we are nourished by experience. It is through "making" that we evoke essence and meaning.

I am a painter and musician living in Portland, Oregon, USA. Having made art and music for as long as I can remember, I continue to explore and build my repertoire in both mediums. Although each has unique qualities, the two compliment one another and together they inspire, inform and feed each other throughout the work.

My paintings often reflect recurring themes which are interpreted and reinterpreted over time. These themes include family and ancestral lines, nature's organic beauty, the human "organization" of nature, the evolution of humankind, among others.
