Biography

I'm an American painter and photographer, creating my work from mixing my real and virtual photography with my wet paintings. Music and natural sound affect my work significantly by virtue of chromesthesia or sound-to-color synesthesia is a type of synesthesia in which sound involuntarily evokes an experience of color, shape, and movement. Which is why my work is so vibrant and emotional.

 "I love to paint nature in the abstract form as I feel it. I try to capture that energy, that movement, of the natural world. My innate and incessant feeling and filtering energy is what drives me to paint the crazy way I do. My work consists of acrylic paintings and digital paintings created from photography taken in virtual reality often collaged with my acrylic paintings."
