Artist Statement

Since I was born my dad has been an art teacher. For as long as I can remember I was inspired by what he did and strived to be able to create and compose as he did so naturally.  I became obsessed with art and would draw with my dad all of the time. However, as time passed, I found an additional love in athletics and that became a major part of my life as well. My love for sports and art are an unlikely match, but one that I love to explore. 

As a multimedia artist, I find myself telling a story with my art. Sometimes it is an individual piece telling the story, sometimes its the collection as a whole, most of the times it is a little bit of both. Most importantly, the works I create I tell my story. From my early years sitting next to my dad drawing and my strong foundation in family, to having the opportunity to play division one football. Through my work I tell the story of my life as an athlete and how it changed me, both the good and bad. What started as a young boy trying to be like his father, has developed into using my art to express complex emotions and tell my story as an athlete and as an artist.
