My Work is inspired by urban elements such as: loose wires, words, graffiti, decayed walls, colors and shapes. Any mark left on street walls reflects an energy of a person; a moment in time. In my studio I play with these elements using my energy and vulnerability to express those marks and to transmute ideas into whimsical paintings.  For my collages I often use posters I have removed out of the streets of San Francisco and the cities I visit.
