No one taught me how to paint, no one taught me how to write songs. I’m not really sure how it all happened. How this large body of work came to be. Much of how it happened is a blur, these creative outbursts, these channeled ideas, these forays into a different state of mind.

What we have is a dream world, this ability to create something out of nothing. A world where the walls between dimensions seem thinner, a world where magic exists. When the creative electricity turns on a shapeless, river of ideas flows into me. My fingers move, my ears listen, my eyes see. Then there is a painting, then there is a song.

When these works begin I do not know where they will start nor do I know where they will end. But I always know when they are finished. The electricity turns off.

Things settle, then it starts again.

In addition to my paintings I also perform with my band, write lots of songs, create music videos and write poetry.

I attended Northeastern University and Boston University majoring in photography, with a minor in poetry.
