I am Chicago-area artist.

I use mixed media to create paintings that transport the observer into an imaginative child-like worlds through the use of vibrant colors, tactile materials, organic and geometric shapes.

I draw inspiration from childhood memories of storybook and movie imagery, as well as visionary and outsider art. Blending the real and surreal into dreamlike landscapes, alternate dimensions with fantasy and sci-fi motifs.
