Bio: I am responsible for
making products for and managing
Internet art company. (Nov.
02-present) I create unique
sculptures, jewelry, and chess
sets for sale on our Internet
site. I create and utilize molds
to mass produce products.
I help promote website and
product lines to potential
customers. I am responsible for
buying supplies, packaging
products to be shipped, and time
management. I use various
computer design tools and other
media to create project
blueprints and prototypes.
I am currently creating a line
of gaming aides and scenery for
use in tabletop gaming, as well
as a series of chess sets.
I have also started a line of
body casting sculptures
embodying the human form in
stylized media. |

Philosophy: As an
artist, I see potential and
beauty in the world around
me. I am inspired by what I
see and continue the process
of creation in my mind,
further shaping and making
the vision my own. My goal
is to try and emulate, if
not actually capture, a
little of that beauty and at
the same time try and give a
small bit of what I see back
to the world.
While I can draw well enough
to get my ideas across, it
is sculpting in three
dimensions that allows me to
make my imagination become
reality. I enjoy melding
different items and
materials into a single
piece, experimenting with
form and structure. In
working with my visions, I
have utilized leather,
glass, metal, gems,
plastics, plasters, and
clays, among other things,
to make them real.
But creating is not enough.
Being able to fan the spark
of creativity in others is
in itself an act of
creation, and perhaps the
most important one, as it
allows art to be seen by
another pair of eyes and
interpreted through another
mind. To this end, I enjoy
teaching others what I am
doing and help them realize
their potential.
The name of my company is
Algedonic Arts. Algedonic is
a term that means "pleasure
out of pain." It is this
idea that encapsulates art
for me. The process of
creation is often painful,
but from that pain, beauty
and pleasure are born. |
