I grew up in a rural area outside of Akron, a city known for being the rubber capital of the world in the early the 20th century. As a kid I spent most of my time in the woods, there were bones and bullets in the woods. There was an oil well always pumping, the limestone rocks around it were coated with an orange film that smelled like 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, and video; which I have shown internationally at film festivals, museums, galleries, and online.
