I am always in search of answers to artistic completeness, and I enjoy the journey. I moved to Phoenix, AZ in 1996 from South Bend, IN. I studied and absorbed everything creative, spiritual, and scientific that was offered by Arizona Sate University. While studying, I worked to develop my own style and techniques through painting and sculpture. The desert landscape was an inspirational place to begin.

Academia is a journey that is taken only so far, and then there is reality. Through travel, culture, and personal adventure I was able to express what I was, and learned quickly what I was not. Self discovery is an important element and ingredient for fine art.

As an artist my experiences translate into expressions. The results are artworks not expressed through the act of painting, but in the gathering of information. I believe we can't appreciate a piece of art unless we know the process and information the artist used to begin a piece. I try to recognize that element of art making in my daily life and become aware of it in my own work. In the years ahead I hope to give back my understanding of information to the viewer through an intellectual process of subject, color and form.

My artistic career is dedicated to Myah, the great and creative one to be.
