About the Artist:

(Artist Bio)

I grew up in and currently live in Colorado, and the wildlife around me holds a certain sway over my subject matter. I’ve wandered through life reading, writing, drawing, and playing music…soaking in anything weird/strange/unsettling…smiling and screaming, always wanting to make stuff. Art is a catharsis for me. I try to portray the rudely animalistic, the meaty red stuff on the inside as a representation of the animal exterior. I want to distort and slice familiar beings into disfigured presentations whose distortion and violence create a sort of empathy. This does not mean that I only paint animals, I try to keep a healthy variation between my pieces, trying new techniques with each series while keeping subtle themes throughout my work. I mainly paint with gouache but have recently begun to use oils, two mediums that vary vastly in technique but which also feel very similar to me.
