Born in Santa Ana, California on September 23, 1966, I grew up in El Toro, California
My mother tells that I have been drawing since I was 9 years old. I didn't feel like a real Artist until the mid 80s when I left El Toro, and moved north to Sonoma County. My uncle bought me my first airbrush and turned me on to the artworks of Stanley Mouse, Alton Kelley, Richard Ash, Pat Ryan, Don Delew and Nat Quick. I was really inspired by their full-colour t-shirts and monster calendars, and sharp images.
I began airbrushing, sometimes four to five hours straight. I stayed with the technique for several years, and then in the 1990s, I became interested in acrylic paints and began painting acrylic on canvas. I am self taught and have had no formal art lessons. My artwork is spontaneous, and I enjoy painting abstracts. I like to paint strange things to get people's attention.
I love to sign my art work before I finish it. Things and places I've painted include shoes, pants, couches, pillow cases, ties, Matt Cornfoot's ceiling in his house, Sammy Hagars jacket, the bathroom at Johnnys Java Inn coffee house in Cotatie, California t-shirts doors, wooden ducks, telephones, beads, and many other items too numerous to list.
Exhibits: Markwest Lodge, Gold Coast Coffee and Kiosks, Mendocino Wine Auction, KRCB wine auction, Breakers Restaurant in Bodega Bay, and Feraries Restaurant. |
