I work in the genre painting tradition. My work is a mash-up of classically styled figurative painting and contemporary iconography. My narratives are based on biography, tarot, mythology and fairytale. Iconic brands and contemporary imagery support the narrative in my work.
I am a graduate of the Drawing and Painting Atelier at Gage Academy of Art. Prior to my art career, I worked in global brand marketing with familiar brands including Cheerios, Betty Crocker, and Amazon.com. In this role I became fascinated with the power of Jungian archetypes, works by Joseph Campbell, and iconography. Developing my understanding and expression of figurative artchetypes is the cornerstone of my work.
