My theme incorporates a style reminiscent of the turn-of-the-century Ashcan School. Though inspired by this period, I am not repeating what has gone before. My new interpretation merges this style with urban art. Combining these styles with the addition of the exaggerated perspective, I have created a distinct body of work. Initially traditional jazz was my muse, but I have begun to incorporate other interests into this style. This will initiate new ideas and help push the boundaries of the theme. I have noticed an illustrative style that has evolved through the progression of this body of work.
