I work in a variety of media - current acrylic, marker, gouache, and digital. I typically describe my work as a loosely defined "psychedelic abstraction." Others may consider it visionary art, outsider art, etc. I tend to see it as my innermost self channeled through a visual medium marked by a lifetime of influences and artistic affinities, harkening to the pure, mystical abstraction pioneered by early twentieth century artists such as Kandinsky and Mondrian.

It is strongly influenced by indigenous art (Huichol, Australian Aboriginal, Shipibo-Conibo), electric urban light, scientific photography, the visual display of quantitative information, the Hubble Space Telescope, Kandinsky, Keith Haring, Yayoi Kusama, Allyson and Alex Grey, James "Dalek" Marshall and others, and it both celebrates and perpetuates the natural forces of creativity that birthed our universe (one among many, I believe!).
