………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
This season offer a collection of contemporary cut-and-paste graphics celebrating my personal experience as a southern Californian, both born & raised all my life. The state that gave me a first-hand view of multiple Street cultures, all of which still resonate with me personally as well as globally to this day.

CALIFORNIA SOUL:
This piece is a nod to so many factors in my life, especially space, color, sunshine and spirit. The light in Southern California is different than other places I’ve been to. Breaking through an overcast morning revealing sun washed tones has left an impression. This piece is also a note to my first solo exhibition in Paris in 2013 of the same name.

KOF of PALMS:
Palms is a diverse and densely populated community in the Westside region of Los Angeles California it is one of the oldest neighborhoods annexed in the early 1900s. I spent The majority of my teens in this neighborhood and got into Graffiti, street skating, and all around adolescent chaos during this time. The design is homage to being so central to Los Angeles, bordered by The Pacific Ocean and downtown.
