Welcome To The Art Department

I make art to celebrate what seems beautiful, reflect on things that are painful, and generally understand the world around me.

My art is often figurative. It often involves drawing and painting. But I also make physical objects with an expressionistic quality, and I have a lifelong fascination with folding paper, and making books.
