Artist Statement

I am a current student at Western Oregon University. I am in my second year of working towards a degree in Art .This site is just a minor sample of the work I have done over the past two years. In this site you will see many different works. I like to work with a little bit of everything, I dont have a preferred media.

I like to make pieces that are humorus in there own way. But I also want my art to make other people think about what I'm trying to get across. Sometimes my messege isn't always so clear, at times you will have to dig a little deeper for a messege on one of my works then in another.

Some of my favorite artists are H.R.Giger, Frances Bacon, and M.C.Escher to name a few. I have gotten a couple of ideas for my work from theirs. I enjoy alot of "dark" art, as you will see in at least one of my paintings. I hope you all enjoy this work as much as I did making it. Thank you.
