I was: Born in 1967 in Torrance, California.

And am currently: Living. In Whittier, California. I am married, have two daughters,
a son who I will find, and a house full of creatures.

And the rest, as they say, is mystery...

I am a self-teaching artist. Self-teaching, mind you, not self-taught.
I have found this change in tense is vitally important to creativity.

An Atomic Blast of Relevance was the discovery of Escher when I about 10, wandering
around a bookstore with my dad; the piece was his 1943 "Reptiles."
A vivid and potent memory-experience.

I find inspiration lurking in music, manipulations of words, the work of
certain other artists, machinery, trees and rocks and bugs, dysfunctional behavior,
the rare moment of silence, a dental technician’s lime-green
rubber gloves, or nothing at all…
