Bio

I was born and raised in a suburb of Rochester, New York. In 1998 I moved to New York City to attend The Cooper Union School of Art. I'm a practicing artist living and working in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Pat Groneman introduced me to IDP in 2007. With ample resistance to self described "hippy shit" I gave in and came to a class. The first time I sat on a zafu I knew there was something to this meditation thing. Most of my art practice deals with the creation of drawings, wall works, objects, and comics concerning a variety of issues surrounding quantum mechanics, many worlds theory, ancient alien theory, the occult, meditation and mindfulness practice, and archetypal mythology. My work is represented by Freight + Volume in NYC and MULTIVERSE, my debut solo show with the gallery, opens March 31.
