revealing the primordial spirit of nature that lies beneath ordinary reality”

"These paintings begin with a physical expression of a particular feeling I have in that moment. I paint quickly and directly to the canvas without judgement. This is a new technique I chose because it allows me to convey the message I seek to express: hidden emotions that lye in storytelling."

This is my War

You may think you have won, but 

don't you know that under these sheets I can create powers?

don't you know that if I build just enough courage 

I can just have a peak at the world outside My sheets?

or even outside My bedroom?

or even maybe just maybe,

My apartment.

Did you know that you haven't beaten me down?

In fact, I've become stronger for having written this.

"I choose to not use the pottery wheel to challenge myself by
instead starting with just a block of clay and shaping it with my hands.
The bowl represents the connection between my brother and me"
