I was born Inglewood, CA, in 1987. My parents divorced when I was about four or five years old, so I moved with my mother and brothers to my mother’s hometown of Detroit, MI. We didn’t have much, but usually enough. When I was 13, I left Detroit to attend Phillips Academy, an east coast prep-school better known as Andover.

Now I’m a lawyer, but I was always an artist. I’ve been learning and applying drawing and painting techniques to make more things worth looking at. I’ve taken a few classes at various schools around the NY area, but other than these I have no training or education that I have not given myself. No exhibitions or purchases yet - I look forward to them!

Where my work is now: My images stand as conversations, between me and the subject, between the viewer and me. I put the pencil or the brush to the surface, then allow my hand and my eye to communicate, with as little intervention from me as possible. The subject appears to the viewer, but through this lens, which forms, overlaps, melds, advances, sharpens, blurs, recedes, separates, and dissipates the subject’s spaces as the eye of the viewer is carried over the record of marks that I have made. In other words, I represented the subject to the you, but I am asking you what you see. Working in this way, both the you and I can explore the space and learn about what is before our eyes in greater freedom.
