ARTIST STATEMENT 
As a kid, I became an artist when I received my first box of Crayola 64-Count Classic Crayons.
I start my artwork with a narrative, whether it’s a straightforward narrative or a bizarre fantasy. The finished piece usually stays on plan, and sometimes it takes a weird and wonderful turn.

PROCESS
After collecting digital images and selecting snippets to transform something old into something new using the computer as my canvas and software as my paintbrushes.
