This piece was the first in a series of “Cosmic Horror” themed paintings. The Ether seeks to question the boundaries of the forces that exist externally and internally to us, prompting us to question all and seek truth.

The second piece in my “Cosmic Horror” series, The Sleeping King sleeps patiently atop its icy throne, waiting for a day that—in many ways—will pass it by. I was heavily inspired by our own earnestness for the future, constantly waiting for better times and letting the waves of time lap away at our present.

The third piece in my “Cosmic Horror” series. Atlas is the keeper of all things, constantly carrying the universe on its abdomen. Atlas exists beyond the universe, never knowing love or compassion or any emotion. It simply is. While inspired by the Greek Titan, Atlas is equivalently inspired by our own complex emotional states and yearning for things we cannot have.

The final piece in my “Cosmic Horror” series. The Mourning Mother is the catalyst of life and death. Tragedy is often a bittersweet motivator, and this piece is no exception. It represents our disconnectedness and togetherness. Those people we push away, those we welcome, those we fear, and those we trust. Looped on an endless record.

One of my biggest inspirations in life is Sigourney Weaver. My work is often reflective of science fiction and fantasy. As such, I find myself endlessly inspired by Sigourney Weaver, who to me is the queen of science fiction. I wanted to pay homage to her endless talent in this painting.

There was a time when I was quite the fan of Once Upon a Time. for a personal project, I wanted to create a portrait of an actress on the show, in this case I chose Lana Parilla. I decided I wanted to try stippling rather than painting or using charcoals for this piece.

This piece was a project I completed in freshman year of college. Our assignment was to create some sort of “flow-chart” that represented family and friends. It was certainly out of the box, but I wanted to make a giraffe, whose spots were replaced by symbols—each representative of someone close to me.

This piece was an experimentation with charcoal pencils and vine charcoal. I was testing my skills with perspective and realistic art.

One of my all time favorite mythological legends is that of the Nogitsune. In Japanese folklore they are malevolent fox spirits that possess their victims and cause chaos; they are the evil counterpart to the trickster spirits: Kitsune. Nogitsune are often demonic and quite terrifying, as such this piece was born. \

I’m definitely not one to normally work with clay but I wanted to try my hand at a new medium. I love owls and nature, and so I decided to combine the two into this piece.

6” x 6” — Clay and Glaze

In addition to the Owl, I wanted to create a vase. For this piece I utilized the coiling method to build up the walls of the vase. As I worked I noticed more and more how similar it looked to the eggs from “Alien” and so I added a ash glaze to looked streaked and slimy like the movie.
