My journey into art was unconventional, transitioning from a decade-long career in the oil and gas industry to fully embrace my creative calling. I believe that with determination and passion, anyone can learn and grow, and my path as an artist reflects this belief. Each piece I create is a testament to my desire to keep learning, evolving, and telling new stories through experimentation, risk, and curiosity.

Each canvas begins with a spontaneous foundation—marks and blocks of color made from wiping my paintbrush from another piece. I cover the entire canvas this way, without thinking, free from preconceived ideas. My boys even often add their own touches, infusing the work with playful energy. From there, I refine the painting, layering intentional decisions over the initial freedom, shaping the piece until it feels complete.

I enjoy letting the initial layers show through, serving as a reminder that chaos and structure, the messy and the controlled, can coexist. In my current work, the Formation Series, I aim to merge logic with spontaneity, allowing unexpected moments to occur—a burst of color, a piece of collage, maybe even a rhinestone. My process isn’t about perfection but about discovery, where each layer, mark, and element adds complexity and meaning. Through my art, I hope to convey a sense of exploration, inviting viewers to see both the familiar and the unexpected in new ways.
