Art by Berin

I am a painter. What else is there to say?

I've never seen combat, been shot or done a stint in jail. I don't drink too much, don't smoke and have only one tattoo. Perhaps it's all just a reaction to a childhood that included a stripper at my baptism; or maybe I just have an overactive imagination and not enough to do. Either way, I paint.

I paint to illuminate the fantasies I dreamt of as a boy; to preserve the memories of family and friends; and because deep down I really like scantily clad women.

Other than that, I was born in Germany; grew up in Central Texas and now live in Washington D.C. with my wife and daughter.
