Background
I was born in Wyoming, where a deep connection to nature and an insatiable drive to create took root early on. A mentor introduced me to art, music, and philosophy—igniting a lifelong journey of exploration and expression. After moving to New York, I honed my skills at The Art Students League and apprenticed with a painter in the city.

Background
I work primarily with oil on canvas and use palette knives and brushes to create layered, textured compositions. My paintings emphasize bold color and form, drawing inspiration from the natural and urban worlds to produce expressive, visually engaging work.

Inspiration, as an artist, is that inner spark or emotional resonance that drives you to create -- it's what moves you to translate thoughts, feelings, or perceptions into visual form. It can come from anywhere: The natural world, personal experiences, memories, dreams, stories, music, colors, or even silence.
