Biography

“In a night so beclamored with the jackal-yapping of coyotes and the cries of owls the howl of that old dog wolf was the one sound they knew to issue from its right form, a solitary lobo, perhaps gray at the muzzle, hung like a marionette from the moon with his long mouth gibbering.”

Currently residing in Turlock, CA

My work is focused on the nature of light in an abstraction of the traditional landscape. I want to create art that people live with, visit often, and rediscover at varying degrees of distance and resolution.
