Fumage art

I am an American artist mainly recognized for my work in the Fumage process. Fumage is a medium created from the soot of a burning candle. Other materials such as acrylic, textures, and charcoal may also be employed.

My artwork subjects are usually wildlife and domestic animals in nature, as well as nostalgic circumstances like old advertisements, movies, and television episodes. Art nouveau, pop art, and Chinoiserie are also some of my favorite styles. 

What impacts my ideas before and throughout their formation is best defined as ethereal and mystical. Close up and detailed, I get a sensation of a living energy within my work, which brings it to life and almost gives me the feeling of a new connection with someone. 

If my art can transmit a sense of a soul, memory, or existence, that someone may be present or woken for a lengthy or limited period of time, this inspires me.
