Artist Statement
I am a Los Angeles-based painter, inspired by my immediate surroundings in downtown LA, where I live and work. My work is a celebration of diversity, humanity, and the constantly evolving and devolving city of LA. I hope to provoke thought and conversation about everything from homelessness and gentrification, to social injustice, consumerism, pop culture,and body positivity.
