His work is characterized by a distinct attention to detail and masterful use of color. His preferred bright palette is a reflection of his desire to let his environment influence and inform his artistic choices. His use of color reflects the vibrancy of everything from the architecture, to the local clothing and textiles, to even the food of  his favorite places he’s lived, in New Orleans and Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. His use of stripes echoes the rhythms of New Orleans brass bands and jazz music and the waves of the Caribbean Sea, where a short walk from home would take him for daily morning meditation in admiration of the sunrise.
