About The Artist


I was born in a small suburban town into a very traditional post-war "Mad Men" era family. My mom was a housewife and my dad a businessman who travelled extensively. Much of my subject matter addresses a mid-20th century sanitized sensibility of repression, conformity and unhappiness. ​ My current "Scream" series is a direct reaction to our current Political climate in the era of Trump. Frustration, angst and raw human emotion are a big part of my work.
