My photo-based mixed media art, is iconic visual vocabulary. Authentic style has led to exhibits, art collections and events which integrate history, education, and entertainment. Raised in a family that collected, sold and repaired typewriters. These and other analog, vintage machines are part of my personal history and led naturally to becoming part of the subject matter of my visual expression. I'm inspired by Americana and also affected by pop art and technology.
I developed my unique art style in a Santa Monica Airport (former mechanic) hanger turned art studio in Santa Monica, CA. I also am involved in the St. Louis South City community where antique row meets the edgiest arts, as well as my second home, Joshua Tree, California.
My work is featured in the documentary film, “The Typewriter in the 21st Century,” and TV shows including “Two and a Half Men,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “The Mentalist,” “Criminal Minds,” “Jane the Virgin,” “Dear White People,” “Lucifer,” and “Arrested Development.”
