The making of art is a personal journey of self exploration. At times I do what I do as an artist out of necessity while other times it is a requirement. I make art so that I have something to look at which was created by me, which allows me to not only determine what it is about a particular piece that I enjoy or dislike, but to also provide me the opportunity to analyze myself as a person.

Humor, horror, and tragedy are regular themes in my work as they are defining elements of the human condition since their juxtaposition creates an often ignored perspective on life. Contrasting humor with horror and tragedy creates a discomfort that I hope causes the viewer to reflect upon their own issues with the subject matter and why they would find humor in tragedy or tragedy in humor resulting in a sense of uneasiness typically avoided by most of society.
