I grew up in a rural area south of Akron, Ohio. As a kid I spent most of my time in a woods full of bones and bullet casings. There was an oil well always pumping, the limestone rocks around it were coated with an orange film that smelled like a toxic brew of chemicals. I went to college for painting in Akron. I liked to paint in my studio all night because the empty building felt outside of time. 
Since beginning as a painter I have expanded into sound, digital art, video and generative AI; which I have shown internationally at film festivals, museums, galleries, and online.
