Artist Statement

My explorative nature has taken me to places surreal and commonplace. I use these opportunities to meet people as well as places with a new conversation. I also like the souvenirs.

Once it was my goal to bring art from the pedestal to the people but I realized you can't do it if you set out to do it. So in order to make art a part of everyone's daily life I make art a part of my daily life. Now I just have to remember to take the oil stick out of my pants before I do laundry.

My interests have always included street art, architecture, and the creative use of urban spaces. My past works have included building and living in a cabin in the heart of Brooklyn, running a gallery in an alleyway in Reno, biking across Europe, and seeking out weathered and decommissioned spaces for wheat pastes and murals. Throughout my decade-plus of public works I have continually returned to the concepts of urban refuge, exploration, and the aesthetics of architectural repurposing.

I work primarily on the street.
