Entertainment is defined as a thing that interests, pleases or amuses. It's my goal to accomplish these very things and to communicate or touch the viewer on some level making them laugh, smile and cry simultaneously. I use distortion as a tool to emphasize and amplify quirks and feelings to push emotions within the viewer in hopes of revealing to them the magic that takes place everyday in our lives. Ultimately, my paintings are about crazy, whimsical characters performing acts from the ordinary to the extraordinary, experiencing hidden emotions that are both hilarious and tragic at the same time.
