I am a self-taught artist who learned from looking over the shoulders of friends. I am attempting to be as honest as I can possibly be. This is what I think about when people ask me, What is it all about?

I do not think that my paintings or projects depict anything half as twisted, beautiful, macabre, or hilarious as what the average person walking down the street thinks about on an hourly basis. We are murderous folk in our minds! We are loving people in our minds! We are completely embarrassed and ashamed and we are also proud and generous! We have these thoughts! Is it not better to get them on paper and start talking about them and foster a human connection concerning the dark secrets that we tend to carry? I have personal experience with trying to bottle this up and it is not pretty. To expect real violence, frothing emotion, and genuine passion not to make it into the holy wings of art is worse than naive, it is dishonest. That is no longer the life that I want to choose.

I make things directly from my heart and without malice. This is the source. It comes out of me as though I am a channel. I am seeking the human connection that comes from sharing experiences of one of the more tender moments of my life with another person. I realize this may contradict what people are used to seeing when someone says they are having a spiritual experience when they make art, but I assure you, this is the true me. Non-ironic and to flying to the heart of the matter, like a dagger from the best man at your wedding...
