About The Artist
I am greatly influenced by Keith Haring. His extensive body of work - ranging from paintings to sculpture to subway murals - can still be seen worldwide, and his influence on the '80s New York art community remains an important piece of history.

I spend most of my free time with a Sharpie® in hand making unique illustrations on anything from paper to old wood shelves to curb rescued furniture. The Natural Sciences and Philosophy greatly influence my work which has been referred to as "amoeba art capturing a surrealistic view of some of the most basic units of life." Upon embarking on a piece, I rarely plan on a set outcome, relying on my subconscious to dictate line, color and the piece's final appearance. In doing this, I venture into a new and different representation of life's complexities.

My Studio, Moonburn81 Studios, launched in April of 2010 and is quickly spreading accross the Internet. I have a few exhibits in the works for the City of Philadelphia and more to come in the near future.
