Classical Figurative Painter
My work begins with the personal then extends to and embraces the universal, exploring subjects of sin and morality, death and the embracemanet of life. I enjoy exploring interpersonal symbolism and manipulating what is seen in the natural so that it may more fully express the inner being.
Born an artist, I have had the need to express myself through the act of creating from my earliest memories to today. I consider myself primarily self taught, though as a child and teen I took classes at the Battle Creek Art Center, Blue Lakes Art Camp, and Kellogg Community College. I began studying the renaissance at the age of thirteen and it continues to fascinate me. The renaissance is what spoke to me and opened up the world of art to me. I poured over every image I could find and soaked it in. Classical aesthetic and technique remain my foundation. After graduating high school I traveled to Italy. Seeing the art which means so much to me was an invaluable experience. I am continually studying on my own. Books are my teachers and application my practice.
I have been a part of many shows and competitions over the years, many resulting in wins. Some of the most notable galleries to display my work are the Kalamazoo Institute of the Arts and the Battle Creek Art Center.
