My work is an exploration of the mystery within us and the elusiveness of the world around us. The scenes and characters take form as an expression of an innate curiosity towards what is hidden or what we decide to hide. The surreal and the familiar blend together to create dreamlike universes. These worlds are connotations of our one human nature.

There is a constant interest in switching back and forth between studio work and mural painting. The transition between these two spaces, as well as the variation in scale and medium provide different perspectives and the ability to express myself differently.
