Headshot

My artist name is Snix. I graduated with a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Ive spent the last ten years traveling to live improvisational musical performances as research for my works which are abstractions of celebration, joy, love and ecstasy. I work primarily in oil paint but do mix mediums. I have a collection of work created digitally where I collage my paintings with found digital imagery overlaid with digital paint brushes and eraser.
