I have been painting on and off for many years and was offered a solo show at the age of 21, which I turned down because the very idea of it scared the shit out of me. 

In terms of subject matter and perspective, I try not to overthink what it is that compels me to paint what I do. I find it is better to just trust my instincts and follow whatever it is that is interesting enough to inspire action.

After a life-long career of writing and designing award-winning work for commercial means, it is vitally important that my paintings be accountable to no one else on this earth but me. I believe the work on this site is all the better for it, but then again I would, wouldn’t I?
