Icarus, according to Greek Mythology, was exiled and imprisoned, along with his father Daedalus, by King Minos. In order to escape, Daedalus, an excellent craftsman, shaped two sets of wings using wax and feathers. Before taking flight he gave his son two warnings: do not to fly too close to the sun, but also, do not fly too close to the sea. Icarus however, could not contain his exhilaration at being able to fly and soared through the sky, reaching too close to the sun. The wax holding his wings together melted. Icarus continued to flap his wings but the feathers loosened, then separated until his wings were no longer in tact. He then fell into the sea which carries his name: the Icarian Sea. The title expresses his legacy: the consequence of personal over-ambition. Are we Icarus? Falling with our hand stretched out trying to grasp at a feather of hope? Or are we the beneficiaries of his legacy; grounded but with our sights to the sky, watching and learning as we catch the falling feather of his experience.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, I grew up during a time when hip hop culture was just making it's way to the mainstream. With it came a burst of expressive freedom from an urban perspective... my perspective.My art represents the myriad spirit and emotion of urban life, with an emphasis on LIFE, as seen through my eyes, imagined in my mind and felt in my heart. That Life in my art is not limited to any one physical location, but expanded upon in an attempt to embrace a universal perspective.When I sit down to paint or draw, I try hard not to think with the idea of what one may consider acceptable, or what another may feel is appropriate. I just try to apply my artistic knowledge and experience to recreate whats in my mind, whether its through sheer imagination or direct and indirect experience. I do believe a colorful imagination, experience, knowledge and a mind open to receive more are principal in helping to nurture artistic growth, and that is what I try to apply in my work.
