Where are you from?

Newport Beach, Costa Mesa area.

Why did you decide to become an artist?

I started doing art at a young age and it stuck with me through out my life, The mediums I enjoy working with are collage and paint. I began painting colorful concentric designs in the early 2000's.

How would you describe your art?

Colorful, psychedelic.

Tell us about some of things that influenced this mural?

I think there is something about this concentric shape patterns and colors that is embedded in our consciousness: a seed of consciousness perhaps, or a map.

What else inspires you?

Music, design, art, family, and friends.

Where else can we find you?

You can find another mural I did at the Costa Mesa Skate Park and Dog Park.
