A message from the artist:

I am an abstract artist with a focus on intricate line work and interlocking patterns and designs that create a multitude of different images in each painting depending on what the individual viewer perceives and how they connect the parts of the piece together when viewing it. That makes my work very open to interpretation in a Rorschach inkblot test sort of way. It is whatever you think it is, and that's fun for me and for viewers.

I love making art just to make art. It's the thing in life that makes me the happiest. As a very hyperactive person, the act of making art is the closest I get to a meditative state where there are no thoughts in my brain. I am at peace and greatly enjoy the zen-like aspect that comes with creating art.

When I'm not making art, I am probably watching a lot of movies or TV shows, writing poetry and working on several poetry compilations that will feature my art alongside each poem. I spend a lot of time bike riding and going to the gym. I'm an avid reader and always reading something, along with recently getting into disc golf and enjoying that a lot.
