I was born and raised in Chicago and its surrounding suburbs. The city’s architecture, diverse culture, and history of racial tensions has influenced my art. I consider my work “outsider art” because I had little formal art training.
What I want to convey is imagery that reflects my interpretation of the current young urban American zeitgeist with an erotic twist.
What makes my art different is that it combines modern digital art with many old school processes and techniques. I usually begin with black & white film photography and then add layers of color with a combination of a digital process and old school techniques like acrylic airbrush, ink silk screen, encaustic paint, oil & acrylic text stenciling or repurposed images from magazines or the web. Some of my pieces end as digital art and some as physical art.
