Biography 
A central thread that weaves throughout my poetry, paintings, photography and drawings is the idea of opposites: beauty and ugliness, the sublime and the idiotic, violence, gentleness, victory and despair.

My art is a space where these themes meet and coexist exhibiting all there inherent contradictions. The subject matter is often heavily autobiographical, communicated through a personal symbolism and surrealism.

These metaphors are anchored equally in the constructs of my fictional writings and secondly within my personal struggle to survive a very real mental illness. Since 1985 I have used this strange brew to produce works both deeply-psychological and emotionally-stirring.
 Style Symbolism
An art style developed in the late 19th century characterized by the incorporation of symbols and ideas, usually spiritual or mystical in nature, which represent the inner life of people. Traditional modeled, pictorial depictions are replaced or contrasted by flat mosiac-like surfaces decoratively embellished with figures and design elements.
