ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
I have always represented the human condition and its relationship with life throughout my artistic practice. Currently my creative applications have shifted direction to explicitly exploring the human figure from life through traditional means. Through this I will juxtapose classical figurative techniques with contemporary ideas and my personal exploration of life. Producing work that not only challenges both genres but the individual viewer.
