The surrealistic nature of dreams and childhood memories motivate the manifestation of the drawn, sculpted, and painted images and forms within my work. I intend for image, color and clay to exist as a harmonious vehicle that can generate stories for the viewer.

By combining the parts of horses, rabbits, insects, birds, and other various animals with human components I attempt to shape characters within the fantasy worlds that once dictated our childhood thoughts. Absurdity and humor are themes that circulate throughout situations I illustrate. Matt Dukes Jordan, author of Weirdo Deluxe, confirms that:

“… revel in the ribald, love the lurid, and turn the everyday world upside down. Carnivalesque art is a liberating comic release from the sometimes rigid and confining classical ideals of beauty and refinement.”
