Welcome, come meet Mistress Nerve Pain and me. I introduce you to her only because she has an unhealthy obsession with me and never leaves my side. More often than not, she keeps me locked in a black lacquered box filled with voracious scorpions, ticks and maggots that feed and toy with me. However, during the times she slumbers, I enthusiastically work and play, eagerly putting on canvas my feelings, thoughts and actions, whether it has to do with me personally or current events, locally or worldly. I am a self-taught artist that is drawn to expressing humankind’s most intimate emotions to capturing nature's beauty in bizarre ways. My paintings embrace diverse styles from surrealism to abstract and commonly polymorphs disparate images. Often times my work is both narrative and mysterious creating a mélange of tranquility, wonderment, passion, and even horror that arouses the eye and heart.
