I am primarily an acrylic painter, with tendencies toward mixed media collage. Stemming from student work with Linocut printing on paper, i discovered a pretense toward ripped paper and various media, including graphite, ink, pastels and crayons, newsprint, colored paper and acrylic paint. Largely inspired by nature, i have a large range of influence, from 20th century modernist movements, graphic design, to comics and fantasy art, and i find it difficult to pin the work to one "style", except my own. I tend toward limited, often muted, color palettes, with an emphasis on line and mark making.
