Which artwork is the most personally meaningful to you?

Since I’m a father I realized that the important things in life are very simple. When I am painting, I delve inward, striving to be as honest as possible with the artifacts of self-discovery I encounter. This Self portrait of me and my first son reminds me of that everyday.

With reality as the foundation to my practice, I create a vibrant narrative and a personal reflection on the world."The Daily Neighborhood" was a a breakthrough for me as it let me seek new ways to interpret one’s truth visually and the importance of everyday life. Finding inspiration in these unusual and yet commonplace experiences, by exploring the complexity of such simple moments and rendering them on a monumental scale


Do you have a piece that you made during a rough patch in your life?
