Born October 7th, 1964.
Based in San Diego, California USA

I like to mix up outer space with inner space; undersea and above the sea,
collage elements, and patterns. It's nature with a psychedelic tint.

Since moving to San Diego in 1986, I have found endless inspiration in the coastal region and desert as well as in all things nostalgic.

In my work I am not trying to convey a specific message, rather I am just trying to establish balance, To set the viewer at ease and encourage new thinking and contemplation........ mind expansion.

We are living in amazing times. Social media and the internet have allowed artists of every genre to express themselves and share what they do, the result is amazing unfettered growth in every genre imaginable. I am inspired every day by what I am seeing, as well as the ever-changing nature around me.



"These scenes of contemplative psychedelia are certainly not of this earth, but have a definite everyday peace about them as if seeing nature scenes from another dimension."
