About
Born in Germany in 1993 and raised in New mexico, I use my emotional experiences within the gay community as a catalyst for my drawings and paintings. I focus on the ideas of external vs. internal, using symbols like masks, facades, makeup and other appearance altering concepts. My mediums reflect my passion for masks and intricate personas, using acrylic paint allows me to create quick layers. One technique that satisfies my creative nerve is the ability to use Acrylic paint on top of temporary mediums. I am able to wipe away, to reveal the under painting, this is my literal expression how we all wear masks and reveal our hidden truths, selectively. My use of combined techniques is a way to capture the viewers attention and stimulate thought. Regardless of whether those thoughts are positive or negative I hope above all else my art makes people feel confidence in their own self expression.
