My art is about evolving ignorance into intelligence. Whether it's the style in which I paint or message I'm communicating, I fuse multiple simplicities into a large, simple complexity.

I use a lifetime of lettering, photography, graphic design, writing, illustration, painting, sketching, and material manipulation to brush, spray, scratch, scribble, erase, rub, write, cut, draw, drip, print, stamp, stencil, smear, gel, layer, destroy, deface, rip, and/or rebuild. This may involve text and imagery into a graffiti painting or many different transparent layers to create a new type of painting that I call Tiered Painting.

My subject matter may include everything from the banal to eccentric, humorous to serious, uncultivated to intellectual, flippant to social commentary, or it may be as simple as abstract layering of colors that constantly change states and shapes as does the background or foreground lighting.

Regardless, my goal is always to stimulate critical thinking, thus education, in a world I fear values such evolution less and less with each passing year.
