Troy was born in Seattle and had a nice childhood during which he fell in love with art. He then grew up, made good choices as well as bad ones, felt joy as well as pain, and continued his love affair with art. At long last, Troy met Catherine, fell in love with her and made her his wife, and the three of them currently share a wonderful life together.

Fueled by intense introspection and a working-class ethic, I am intent on self-expression and self-discovery through the cultivation of my own, singular sense of style and technique. I work to convey not only a meditative quality and a reflection of spiritual energies in my art, but I also seek to maintain a balanced sense of levity and humor. Aesthetically, I'm impassioned by the bold simplicity of fundamental shapes, sharp lines, solid colors, purity and precision, and I strive to create work that reflects that. My crisp, clean work is intended as a visual, contemplative antidote to our society's sometimes excessive, over-stimulated and chaotic tendencies.
