About

It all started when…

I can’t really remember. That’s the thing about artwork and the persistent call to create. It’s always been there. I tried to ignore it in pursuit of what I was supposed to do, you know, get a college degree, get a job (which I did, several times). I wasn’t very happy.

Fast forward, after hard lessons and divine intervention, I’m back at my easel painting for all the juicy reasons an art practice delivers. I do it for fun, for my own mental health and self-discovery, for strengthening my capacity to innovate and problem-solve. I paint to stay grounded and present, to remind me why AI and technology will not replace the value of human creativity and connection. And I paint to make a living.

I’m glad you’re here. If you’re inspired by the artwork you see here, or heeding a call to your own creative expression, thank-you. That’s my mission, to inspire a world of present, innovative, compassionate humans, changing the world, one brave painting at a time.
