Normally I would say that I prefer that my art and resume to
speak for themselves. But I guess that would be a bit of a cop-out.

I have been creating for as long as I can remember, and probably
before that. Dinosaurs and strange creatures were the norm during
those years, with "Star Wars" inspiring sci-fi influences. I did
not even attempt to draw humans until age 12 or so, and I still feel that
I have a long way to go in mastering that, strange creatures that we are.

After graduating from Massachusetts College of Art, which taught me
much, my work went from whimsical and humorous to darker and less
censored. Though some may doubt it, I have lightened up considerably
since then, but I am still drawn to a "darker" aesthetic.
It may fly in the face of the mainstream, but I know that there's
a place for it.

The majority of my current work involves photography and the use of
Photoshop. I've been trying to find a fusion between the two, which
I've attempted with the "They Rise at Midnight" series.

Part of me wants to go even darker, but I also want to hold onto
the idea of "beauty" that I have in my head that can't be expressed with
mere words. Which is probably why I persevere with this and not give
up and become a computer programmer or such.

Somewhere between beauty and decay seems to be where I'm headed.
