Much of the artwork I create is tongue-in-cheek. I make art about the people I have known, know and would like to know, blending bits of fact and fiction to create comical and sometime edgy concoctions. I grew up surrounded by funny, loving people and tragic struggling people. Surrounded myself with people who know how to laugh. I understand that life is serious business but humor has been a balancing point for me. It’s needed relief from the hard truths.

I’m deeply attracted to humorous, intense and ironic stories and characters. The more uninhibited and colorful, the more twisted and torn the better. Flawed, quirky, and silly are my favorite subjects.  The people and animals I draw are not about exterior perfection or beauty. I create characters that react to the environments and situations that I have thrust upon them, their expressions speaking to the complexity of relationships and situations, their eyes telling their story.

These drawings are from a series called, Goats In Sight, 2014-2015
