- Born January 1996, florida
- Known for his life casting, realistic works of people.
- He does Hyperrealism in polyester resin, fiber glass bondo or bronze.
- How he describes the women in the picture above, "I like the physical burdens this women carries. She is weighed down by all of her shopping bags and purchases, and she has almost become a bag herself. she carries physical burdens - the burdens of life, of everyday living. But initially, it's quite a funny sculpture."
- He prefers to make sculptures of people who aren't normally shown in galleries but are familiar to everyone, over weight, unattractive, badly dressed people.
- He likes working around the idea of the 'Tourist', the stereotypical American tourist.
I really like he would for similar reasons that i like Ron Mueck, but what i like more about this work is that he like showing the ugly of people, I like that he can see the stereotype and use it to create great works and that its so very true to life and the stereotypes.
