Artist Statement
The Psy Guy Project began in 2019 as a creative experiment: reimagining nostalgic creatures through my own art style and gifting the laminated prints to the community at music festivals.
What started as an organic act of generosity at Bonnaroo has evolved into a dedicated studio practice. I use this project as a critical sandbox to test new painting techniques, push compositional boundaries, and refine my visual voice.
The beauty of the Psy Guy Project is its circular nature: it is a community-funded endeavor. Because of the support I receive from the Bonnaroo community, I am able to return to the festival every year with a new, high-quality series of prints to give away for free. Each piece is distributed with a project info sheet, inviting recipients to engage with the work's history and donate directly to the project. This project remains the heart of my practice, a testament to the power of shared art and community connection. <3
