Bio:

I have lived in Evansville Indiana all my life. I grew up on Green River Road and attended high school at Evansville Harrison.  I studied Biology for three years at the University of Southern Indiana before dropping out to work at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana in Princeton. It was during my nearly 11 years of work there that I discovered how much I like to make art. I had been listless for years, and I was hardly able to put thoughts towards anything but abstract daydreams and philosophical confusion. I discovered I had ADHD. At the time I almost exclusively made art with a pilot g2 7mm black gel pen. Since then, I have experimented with colored pencils, paints, and markers. My art is inspired by curiosity and I find the aimless stroke of black pen on white paper while music, an audiobook, or a lecture course plays in the background to be one of the most therapeutic things to my ever racing mind.

Artist Statement:

As I youngster I spent a lot of time trapped in my own head. I had two brothers, one older and one younger, who were much more socially inclined than me. I spent a lot of time thinking and over the years my mind became heavily congested with questions for and about the universe that I was unable to articulate with any direct means of expression. I want to put all of that stored energy to use. That’s what my art is, questions that are too wild for words. Too wild to be asked or answered by words.

I have an affinity for the greater Evansville area and desire to see it grow artistically into the art hub I believe it can be.
