I am a fourth generation Colorado Springs native. I have lived in the "Springs", Denver, St. Louis, and Dutch West Indies as well as a brief stint in the darkness of reality. I am currently a student relentlessly pursuing a degree in "fine art". As a twenty plus year veteran of the sign industry, and having spent a number of years in the music business, I draw upon my life experiences to bring to fruition the torments, challenges, and virtues of human existence, especially from the perspective of a lower common denominator. I bring into my art the toil of my soul and the nature of my being. I have always admired the "Under Dog" of culture and those who take life head-on despite the socio-cultural current. I have done art of one kind or another, my whole life, music, signs, pipe-cleaners, pencils, paint, rope...etc, etc, etc. I was diagnosed with cancer in December of '09 and through the reflection of my mortality I made a firm decision to make my personal mark in this tangible existence through expressing my individual talent of creativity in every form that my broke-down, abominable/virtuous self can reckon. My personal claim to this small patch of life that I have been awarded is to create and to bring some form of joy and introspection to another human-being. BIVEVER
