Being very creative as a child found a thriving interest in art starting at age 6 being inspired by his father's simple drawings of cowboys, the self taught artist has since done numerous renderings in oil, pencil and charcoal favoring oil paint as his media of choice. Painting mostly portraits in the early years while sustaining a deep rooted interest in the study of modern and postmodern masterworks that resulted in the eventual development of his own style of painting, called ravelism. In ravelism the artist has developed a unique artistic language that depicts both familiar and abstract subject matter through a concept that exploits the behavior of string, fabric, stitch etc. The simplicity of technique allows the artist to utilize lavish brush strokes with an appearance of spontaneity that delivers shock, originality and contrast.
