I'm an oil painter based in Chicago. When I'm not painting or taking photos, I work, also creatively, as a software engineer and designer.

Although I do several different types of paintings, the series featured most prominently on this website is called "Bubble paintings”. The name has come from visitors to my studio, many of whom will say the imagery reminds them of bubbles, and so the name has stuck. Early cubism is an influence, as is some of  the work of the post-impressionist era, but I also admire more contemporary artists like David Hockney. My work reflects the influence of some of his own fractured-image pieces. The aim in making this work is to create paintings that feel modern but incorporate aspects of art from much earlier eras that appeal to me.

When I’m not painting, or doing software development work, I'm out and about, usually somewhere in Chicago, and enjoying the company of family & friends.
