The goal of studio y is to produce high quality artwork that not only benefits the environment but a portion of proceed go to help local community ordinations for the less fortunate.

My entire body of work, which varies in size and construction, is made out of recycled materials. Most materials are found, donated, or the product of mistakes made by retailers (such as mis-cut or recycled frames, mis-tinted paints, and the free bins at yard sales). This allows me to save recyclable materials that were destined for the landfill while producing a high quality product. 

I describe my work as a mixed media representation of my life, thoughts, and emotions as they relate to me and my environment. I strive to create a painting that is not only a product of my individuality, but one that gives the viewer a personal connection to the work. My hope is that viewers may bring their own individuality and perspective to the piece. The process by which this is accomplished is sometimes time-consuming and involves many different stages in the painting construction. As for the emotional content of my paintings, it is hard to tie a specific emotion to a specific painting because I feel a variety of emotions while I am painting. I can honestly say that the painting created represents a certain period of my life, neither good nor bad, but a part of my experience.
