I ride real fast baby, I dont ride slow....

Originally from the San Fernando valley in Los Angeles California. I am a graduate at California College of the Arts in Oakland/San francisco with a BFA in printmaking. I specialize in monotypes, screenprints, and spraycan art. I am available for murals of any size.

Speed, fluidity, movement, shape, place, gesture, emotion.

My goal is to capture the beauty of line and pure movement of simple shapes, expressed through intuitive gesture. My mark making records the changeable emotions I experience at the moment of creation.
The fluid nature of my work is a result, expressing those feelings through rapid calligraphic gestures, bringing the images to life. Currently my fascination with the simple shapes of the bicycle allow me to best express that natural gesture. Various print processes allow my marks to move in an active manner.

Winner of the 2009 Yozo Hamaguchi scholarship award for printmaking at CCA.

Most of these prints are for sale with the exception of a few that are sold out. Prints can be purchased through Paypal. All my prints are hand pulled 100% hand done i try my hardest to stay away from the computer and hand draw everything.
