American Schizo Painting

My goal as an artist is to destigmatize mental health taboos. Often, people come up to me and ask what my art means, but it is not about what it means to me; it is about what it means to you. That is why I have always been drawn to abstract styles of art. Be it Ralph Steadman, Quentin Blake, Takashi Murakami, the list goes on, I have always been inspired and intrigued by the subjective parts of life. Without provoking, most will go without noticing. That is part of destigmatizing mental health: bringing light to the dark (or untouched) parts of a person’s mind. 

I love nature, animals, conversation, music, my family, and most of all my wife. These are my biggest inspirations. I live in the same world as everybody else, just not through the same lens.
