Working in mixing shapes, patterns, and colors to form intricate, biomorphic depictions that seek to show life in chaos, is often how my creative process works. Most often, my work is centered around a few central themes such as color, or a specific object. The artwork is then built around that. Several reoccurring objects tend to be guitars, human forms, plant life, and animals. I am pushing this form to be something that reaches the viewer through color, and has a shape changing quality that gives the viewer something new every time they see it. This is often achieved by making things that are unrecognizable and putting them in with things that are recognizable. 
Other projects that I work in include house drawings, model drawings, and other such things, taken form the world around me. This is often to give an alternate side to me, as well as experiment with different techniques while working with a more focuses and stable subject matter, as well provide outlets to help keep the "Biomorphic Surrealism" methods on track.
