"Phoenix" at Garage Gallery in Los Angeles
I paint surreal landscapes and portraits influenced by nature and spirituality. Mythology influences my work pretty heavily, as well as the bright candy colors of the festival scene. Lately, I've been working on portraits of friends and artists who are in my life right now; my living, breathing inspirations. It's a crazy time to be an artist, and I want to capture the amazing experiences I'm having.
I currently travel between my homes in West Palm Beach, Florida and Los Angeles, California. Feel free to contact me for murals or commissions in the US or abroad. I love traveling and am happy to travel for work.
