Artist bio: I moved to Grand Rapids MI in 2004 to pursue an education at Kendall College of Art and Design. As a young scrappy lad, my eyes couldn't get enough, when I gazed at Tattoo designs, Album covers, Movies and Comic books. These images became my teachers, and I began to grow as an artist. My eyes were opened even wider throughout my time in Grand Rapids. Learning how to draw and paint the human figure was essential to my growth. Viewing the work which has inspired artists in the past and feeling the competitive push from my classmates, made me realize our potential effect on the world. Currently, I am a working artist in Grand Rapids. With every new project, I notice the endless string of opportunity and the vast space that has yet to be covered.
Artist statement: At this time, I am working on my entry piece. Some people have mentioned that I'm an Illustrator who wants to be a fine artist. I'm not sure what that means exactly, but the piece I'm working on makes me understand what they're saying a little more.
