A lifelong artist, I have never been able to not bring a touch of creativity to whatever it is that I am doing. Be it working as an artist, a chef, body piercing, tattoos, or computer programming. Most recently I have been able to get back into painting. The feel of the canvas and the smell of the paints has brought back that addiction I have to art, the same way a needle or bottle does for other addicts. Art is what I am, art is my addiction.
Color and form are paramount in my paintings, and because of this I manufacture all of my paints by hand. By actually touching and making everything that I use there is an almost spiritual connection to my works, such that they become an extension of me.
