Self-taught - California pop/street/outsider art.

I’m a Long Beach based artist originally from Long Island, NY, who moved to Southern California as a child and have lived in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego. Long Beach has been my home for 17 years. Through the use of bright colors and bold abstract shapes, created with a combination of spray, oil and acrylic paints, watercolor and ink, colored pencil, photography, and illustration, I capture the diversity and spirit of Southern California. I consider my work “California Street/Pop Art”.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

I grew up in the surf/skate/punk/street culture of Southern California and my art captures that vibe. I carry that energy through to my brand called OIL Beach, where I put out prints and other merchandise which I show at craft fairs and art pop ups.
