I wrote stories before I ever picked up a pencil to draw, and since then my work has been narrative, even when I don't intend it to be.

In 2011, I began recycling some of my many, many figure studies into collages with wood, cardboard, and other found objects. These too became narrative, and sometimes, I think, heroic.

My mind and creative work are populated with characters based on friends, students, relatives, and people I meet only briefly. My professional work as a video producer allows me to see many worlds I would otherwise be unlikely to access. I am always learning more about human nature and human drama.

I am equally influenced by film and comic books, which I consider to be pretty much the same thing.
