Check-Mated

Growing up in Southern California, had the great experience of being influenced by skateboarding, snowboarding, and surfing. The art tries to capture what you feel not just see. I paint what I want to put on my walls and I love color. I use two different mediums – acrylics and pastels. I believe that working in a single medium is restrictive to anyone’s artistic process. Each idea manifests in its own individual style to be unique. I enjoy hiking, snowboarding, and being outside – my art is directly influenced by these events and my environment combined with what makes everyone better – Music and Nature.
