Much of my work primarily falls under the broad category of mixed media assemblage.

I enjoy giving new life to the discarded and forgotten and often incorporate found objects that cross my path. Many pieces incorporate up-cycled porcelain dolls with newly sculpted features and painted in acrylics. I tend to anthropomorphize inanimate objects and machines, so many pieces end up having a face somewhere.

Growing up on a steady diet of classic monster movies and stop-motion animation, I have always been inspired by oddities, curiosities, the unnatural and the quirky. Monsters, chimeras, machines, and kinetic sculpture often seem to find influence on my creations. I draw inspiration from a wide reference of culture and periods and seek to create pieces that have elements from many, giving the piece a feel of indistinguishable age and era.

Spending most of my time between performing classical music and creating visual art, one could say I have both feet firmly planted in the arts. While music may be my first love, art has always served as solace in my life. In my work I like to incorporate various juxtapositions and explore contrasts: light and dark, whimsy and drama, fantasy and concrete, strength and vulnerability, modernity and antiquity. I enjoy finding quirkiness in the mundane, refinement in the grotesque, humor in the macabre, the layers beneath the surface.
