About the artist

I am an artist working out of Salt Lake City, Utah. I work in a variety of mediums including wood, found objects, acrylic paint on wood panel, cut and glued painted paper on paper, and digital painting.

My assemblage work are boxes filled with real or recognizable hand-built objects assembled in absurd scenes accompanies by absurd titles. I call them “absurd realities”.

The paintings on wood panels are mostly abstracts in the Cayucos series and some landscapes and seascapes inspired by my visits to the California Central Coast.

Most of my digital work is created with Infinite Painter for Android on a Galaxy tablet. Most of the digital paintings are landscapes and seascapes inspired by travels in California.

I like color. All kinds of colors. Especially bold and strong colors. I often use exaggerated colors.

I was raised in Porterville, about fifty miles north of Bakersfield, California. I have also lived in New Mexico, Germany, Idaho and the bay area of California before settling in Utah with my wife and family. I wear Hawaiian style shirts most of the time and I love to strum my ukuleles and mountain dulcimer.

I hope you enjoy my work.
