I began making art about five years ago. While the surrounding circumstances were rather complex, the root of it was simple. I felt a strong impetus to start making art, and I so I started.

In 2019, I taught myself an intensely laborious method of ink drawing which involved my childhood toys as subjects. Earlier this year, I made a complete shift towards painting and gradually abandoned my old subject matter in concert. The most recent work is completely abstract.

Autobiographical considerations are always secondary to those of aesthetic substance. In this sense, I hope viewers will judge these works on their own terms and perhaps learn something in the process. I paint because I enjoy it. It also serves as a helpful tool for study, so I can arrive at deeper levels of appreciation for works far greater than my own.
