Suspended animation, medical curiosities, scientific illustrations and biological specimens. Improbable creatures in impossible situations. These are some of the ideas that I incorporate into my drawings, sculpture, and other artwork. I call them my creatures, because that is what they are – unknown organisms that take shape in my mind, the roots of which come from a lifelong interest in strange biology, microscopic life, the human body, and basically anything else ooey, gooey, creepy, strange or unusual.

Creating art is my way to express the thoughts, emotions, and fears running through my subconscious, and I am often surprised at how it seeps up to the surface. I hope that the end result will resonate with each viewer in their own way, and that it will connect with elements of their own subconscious.
