Crusoe Arrives
Oil on canvas, 48x60x1.5, 2024, $2300
My pieces are abstract renditions of my surroundings and feelings, energized by current life events. Some of my work is on the dark side, but I'm generally pretty eclectic with my subjects and tone of expression (color, style etc.). Artists like Basquiat, Twombly, and Rothko influence my visual composition, while aspects of my childhood, the mystery of love, and the complicated reality of mental health awareness add personality.
