I am a starving artist currently living in North Carolina. I pay my bills by serving rich folks the finest waldorf chicken salad in Asheville, but aspire to be able to support myself through art alone (don't we all...).
A scientist by education (B.S. in Biomedical Sciences), I am fascinated by the workings and variations of the human body. I am also interested in the mortality and fragility of the human form, disease, and the relationship between spiritual and physical states of ecstasy.
I work mainly in acrylics, but dabble in watercolors and digital art as well. I am inspired/influenced by street/urban artists such as Banksy, Justin Bua, and Koralie, tattoo artists such as Grime, Sailor Jerry, Rollo, and Scott Harrison, and a score of other artists, among them Sylvia Ji, Matt Leines, Ron English, David Choe, Josh Petkar, David Stoupakis, Egon Schiele, Francis Bacon, Lucien Freud, Basquiat, and Albrecht Durer.
I do commisioned pieces as well-please contact me for more info.

4/25/2008- I just moved to Austin,TX...and I'm not serving chicken salad any more! Still working a full time gig, but that's life, right?
