His paintings are small and usually range from 85 to 92” without a frame. “When I closed my eyes, I could see a colorful eye like a mandala and it kept changing shape like a kaleidoscope. I drew hundreds of the eye images. Back then, I was thinking that it was something everyone could see,” he told This Is Colossal.

When he got older, he earned a BFA in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts. The surreal paintings he creates are in his unique style. As he says, he likes painting concepts that can’t be exactly expressed in words, like emotions and feelings. That’s why, without him intending to, his works end up being surreal.

You can see the paintings below and more of them on his Instagram.

“I hark back a lot to my childhood in Idaho, as well as looking to my current environment in Utah, to inform my work. I’d like to capture the strange emotions that I always felt in rural and empty places, and the daydreams I’ve had there. It’s those liminal spaces that I like best, and I’m interested in the structures that bring the human world into nature—radio towers, houses, power lines—especially in the absence of humans themselves,” she said to This is Colossal.
