STATEMENT

Working for years as a graphic designer in the music business, I like to balance my eye for design against my love for fearless mark making.

I always strive to create art that is bold, physical and has an overall element of fun. My current work is rugged and blends areas of control with those of absolute chaos.

I like juggling different materials —newspapers, instructional manuals, acrylic paint, spray paint, markers and use whatever tools I can find to make a mark.

My artwork is part of private collections from New York to Los Angeles, from Miami to Honolulu and Europe.

I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Art & Design at California State Northridge. I head my own graphic design business, Digital Lava Graphic Design, which focuses on the entertainment industry, as well as institutes of higher education and nonprofit organizations. I am a native Angeleno and currently live in the Los Angeles area.
