As Fate would have it, I found myself as a teenager living in Buenos Aires during the final years of the military regime that ended in 1982. The insular life I had led in suburban USA was forever changed. The three years I spent in B.A. opened my eyes to the bureaucracy, turmoil and bad policy that exist in a crumbling government. Most importantly I began to understand what it means to be a world citizen.

Then, years later, after much trial and error at life, while stumbling my way along the brink of acceptable decorum, I came to the realization that life is in fact absurd. That was when I decided to become an artist.

I tend toward a socio-political, historical base in my work. Lately, I have incorporated imagery from the recent past to comment on current American themes: economic takeovers and "bubbles"; the present state of the American Dream; US foreign policy vs. the World. I have also recently be investigating the potential for using my own lifeline as a metaphor for American history and society at large...

I paint on constructed wooden panels that I create specifically for each piece, often mixing old boards with new materials to build a "sectional" diptych or tripych.  I see these works as a cross between Italian Renaissance altarpaintings and 1970's American comicbooks and would say that i draw an equal amount of inspiration from the two genres.. My artwork is a narrative diary, an attempt to decipher and categorize small meanings and vignettes of life.
