A little about me
I am a full time artist living in Seattle Wa.
I’m a northwest native and I’ve lived all over the NW corner of Washington state in my life. My family traveled around a lot because of my dads work as a logger and we even lived on two islands, and a little boat for a time and I loved playing with all the strange sea creatures that live in our icy Northwest waters.
I am self taught, no degree or anything. I prefer to work with acrylic paint, gouache and sometimes watercolor. I like to paint girls, blood, and strange things. Dreams, nightmares, fairy tales, they all make their way into my paintings.
I have recently started doing some more graphic design and I have enjoyed working in this new to me media. I mainly create vector art in Adobe Fresco and then make patterns and product files with Illustrator and Photoshop
My gallery…
For four years I owned and curated a little gallery, Eight And Sand, in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle.
I put on monthly shows, solo ,and group. I enjoyed promoting other hard working, local, and non local artists. I learned a lot and met many wonderful people during this time and will be forever grateful for the experience. I have also worked in two other collaborative gallery spaces, the now defunct EchoEcho and the still thriving Push/Pull in Ballard.
My work has been published in 8 Tarot decks produced by the 78 Tarot Project, and a few books over the years, most notably in Big Eye Art Resurrected And Transformed by Blonde Blythe aka Toni Boozer.
I have been in many art shows over the years showing mainly around Seattle and a little nationally. I currently have artwork on display around In Los Angeles, at Hive Gallery DTLA..
