Bio / Resumee / Statement:

I grew up in the midwest of america in south dakota, where I live to this day and attend college. While my academic career is defined by the fields of Psychology and Philosophy in the study of cognition and consciousness, my passion lies in painting. After being diagnosed with schizophrenia in the spring of '05 I have struggled both with my identity and my relationship to reality. I have become enamored with truth and seek it both formally and pictorially. I find this necessary due to the inherent absurdity of existence and the idea that art itself is a lie. If existence is absurd, truth is absurd. If truth is absurd, what better place to look for it than in a lie?

I find that meaningful art satisifies at least one purpose be it to catalogue history, create something beautiful and satisfying the principles and elements of design and composition, or reminding us what it means to be Human. I try to do at least one of these things in all of my works.

I studied art formally for a year and half at Augustana College, but decided that if I was to learn what true art was I needed to be an independent artist, primitive and self-taught. I wanted to shed the rules that Academia had instilled in me for a truer, more innate conceptualization and creation of art.

Art gives meaning to my life, beyond what my studies offer me, and while my studies may prove more pragmatic and useful to humankind it is my art that shall catalogue not only my existence but the social changes and events that occur daily.
