Do you ever wonder what people see in their minds?
I do, I'm always intrigued by what others imagine. It is one reason I love to create art, so that people can see a little of what I see in my mind. I want to share that with the world. I want you to adorn your space with that chaos and whimsy.
Caterpiller No More, Mothra - Original charcoal drawing on matboard. 32 x 40 inches.
I am the creator of whimsical and colorfully chaotic fine art to adorn your space, reflecting your unique taste and aesthetic. The presence representing the merging of the natural and unnatural.
I'm a philosopher, artist and poet. My passion is to bring to life a combination of what I see outside and what I find in my mind. Iowa is a wonderful place to be inspired to create art. Hiking gave me the opportunity to recharge and find things in nature that I eventually went home and drew. A lot of my focus is on the natural world, so my art evokes that whimsical world beneath our feet. You will find mushrooms tangled among the undergrowth and grasses spiraling skyward.
Mushrooms are unique to me; in that they devour death and create life from it. They sprout up randomly and wither away almost as if they never were. I let my mind run wild in creating mushrooms in a surreal way that I think is quite out of this world.
I also create pieces that delve into a world of abstract and surreal images bursting with color. It is a huge juxtaposition to my pyrography and darker toned art. I have tiny ink drawings that I blow up and color to add pop and texture. They are a strange occurrence for me as I am a little warier of color. I always choose odd color combinations, so I hesitated adding color to them, but I dove into it. I feel it is like the other half of my art “coin”
