My goal is to investigate traditional genres and imbue them with contemporary feeling, deriving from figurative expressionism, but often looking to images from the media for inspiration. Many of my works examine Sci-Fi, horror, and fantasy as new ways to express traditional metaphysical ideas. I often use motifs such as heroes and monsters, undermining or satirizing these characters to make a point. The goal is not just to show aspects of good and evil, but to reference them as characteristics in us all.
