One of my fondest memories is the day I began to define the style of my paintings. While working next to my grandfather in his garage studio, I applied heavy layers of oil and acrylic paint while mixing the mediums on the canvas's surface and following his color relation and design lessons. Once the piece was finished, we realized I was progressing towards a style of my own. The product was abstract and saturated, but the fashion of its production intrigued me more than any other work I had done prior.
