I am interested in creating art that exists outside the traditional boundaries of painting and sculpture. With this in mind, I use materials that are not traditionally associated with art making. I am influenced by what I call urban culture. Examples would be car culture and graffiti; for the most part, these examples exist outside the perceived notions of what art should be. I borrow from urban culture and combine it with aspects of American culture and history, exploring the boundaries of art and American identity.
