The French Surrealists of the 1900s had a parlor game called, “An Exquisite Corpse/ Cadaver”. This is an incredible creative exercise where zany creations come to life! *

I began finding my style and voice as a painter in my early-twenties while in art school. Growing up straddling the socioeconomic pressures of being a “mixed race” child of white and black parents, I saw comfort and camaraderie with solitary and misunderstood characters. In turn, I gravitated towards the controversial and surreal juxtapositions.

.Following the United State’s 2016 Election, I was Easily Compelled to begin the foundation of this series, “Chimerica’s Last Meal”.

I had the pleasure to live with another up-incoming artist: writer and film-maker, Adrion Trujillo. In the racist swamp of Eugene, OR, we overcome some incredibly low points in our lives. We were fighting homelessness; victims of multiple thefts and burglaries; and for a brief period, violently stalked.
Adrion and I also do a karaoke “Under Pressure” duet that’d knock your socks off! Please follow Adrion @trujelloforever and be on the lookout for his up-in incoming projects!
