painting a path
with noise healing motion 
therapeutic tones
and color commotion 

wound sewn creatures
weathered and tattered.
stuffed with hope
and dreams unshattered

lustful longings
of desires unknown
sensual moments
yet to be sewn

musical madness
and improvised noise
fragmented figures
engrossed in their toys

beautiful rhythms
scribbled and splattered
brushed with notes
melodically scattered

lines of distress
and strokes of drama
to carry one through
the scars of life’s trauma

As a watercolor and mixed media artist who also plays the drums, I paint from a  perspective that is highly influenced by the rhythmic noise and music within me. Each piece is emotionally layered with an improvised, noisy solo of splatters, strokes, and washes that move in and out of a structured chord progression of feelings and thoughts. This creates a visual sense of movement, rhythm and musicality that connects each subject to, and breathes life into, the environment in which they visually exist. I refer to these paintings as noise weathered tones and musings. These colorful commotions of feelings and thoughts within me, are most often expressed through visual depictions of landscapes, skyscapes, musical performances, tattered stuffed creatures, and abstractions.
