Please see my Art Shows page for Upcoming and Past Shows.

I am an Oil Painter & Digital Illustrator. I am an autodidact and learned my painting techniques through years of trial & error. My studio is based outside of Seattle Washington.

Divine Mania studio is 1,400 sq. ft. of creativity out in the wet countryside, where I manically paint during vampire hours while the good world sleeps. A basic description of the term: “Divine Mania” is a state of being where a person is inspired by a God, a Muse or one’s own personal Daemon/Genius; the Divine expressing itself through a person.

Human Imagination is a form of the Alchemical: “Prima Materia” and a means for expressing the hidden, but Imagination without Action is incomplete in the world (the manifestation of subjective ideas “down” into objective reality). Painting is Action, and makes the Numinous tangible (Fixing the Volatile). My artworks are often a union of opposites, many are explorations of: Self, Nature, Archetypes, Myth, Magick, Alchemy, Folklore and History.

My artworks have been published by Ouroboros Press, Three Hands Press, and Atramentous Press. Past Events & Productions include: Art Director of The International Left Hand Path Consortium, Curator for the Seattle Erotic Art Festival: Seduction Halloween Party 2015 and my 2017 self-produced two artist show HYPERPREDATOR.

A few of my numerous Group shows include LALUZAPALOOZA 2018, The Devils Reign, (curated by the High Priest of The Church of Satan) and many inclusions in the Seattle Erotic Art Festival throughout the years.
