My work comprises of imagery that I call the "Ghosts" of Los Angeles. Whether it be the abandoned shopping carts
left on the sidewalks of Los Feliz or photos of Silent film starlits of Hollywood in the 1920's. The energy of these displaced
figurines haunt the neighborhoods of Hollywood of a past somewhat forgotten. The Ghosts that lay beneath the Hills, they walk
amongst us.
My biggest strength is the ability to visualize something from beginning to completion conceptually and then create my
painting with a very honest vision. I'm a colorist and really understand how to use color in my work as well as composition.
I work in mixed media in which I combine traditional paint such as oil and acrylic with non traditional digital oil painting
on canvas
I'm currently showing at Grey McGear Modern at Bergamot Station in Los Angeles, CA as well as represented by Art Pic 2000
where my art is rented out and sold to TV and film sets. It's been seen on the sets of Six Feet Under, Entourage, ER and West
Wing.
I get inspired by the every day life situations that I encounter and living in what was the original Old Hollywood neighborhood
of the 1920's.
