As a kid, I would crank up my latest music obsession in my room and obsessively try to replicate my favorite cartoon characters. But I never realized I was interested in art until I mistakenly was put in a high school art class instead of the wind ensemble. What initially started out as a "mistake" blossomed into a holy-s%&@-I-can-art! realization. I later received a scholarship to attend the Art Institute of Laguna Beach during my senior year of high school, and then majored in art studio at University of California, Santa Barbara.

I’m all about the freedom to express myself with big, bold color through abstract expressionism. I love the way you can gaze into the
bold shocks of color and be completely absorbed by it. To me, it's like having a religious experience--as if you're being drenched in the colorful light of a stained glass window in an old European cathedral.
Abstract painting has given me the ability to stop focusing on staying inside the lines and start focusing on what I feel in my core. I hope my work can help you feel the same.
Please contact me if you would like to discuss my work or would like something customized for your office or home. Thank you for visiting Ellemental Creations!
