I’ve spent most of my life making things. Painting, music, design and storytelling have taken different forms over the years, but they’ve always come from the same place—a need to explore ideas, follow curiosity, and turn something felt into something tangible.

My paintings are often rooted in nature and movement: birds in flight, florals, animals, landscapes and fragments of the world around me. I’m drawn to imperfect surfaces, layers of paint, scraped marks and the unexpected things that happen along the way. I rarely want a painting to feel too resolved. I like leaving room for memory, interpretation and a little mystery.

After years working professionally in design and creative direction, painting has become a way of returning to a slower, more instinctive kind of creativity. Much of my current work moves between abstraction and recognizable forms, using a restrained palette and recurring symbols to explore beauty, strength, freedom, stillness and the things we sense but can’t always explain.

I live and work in Northeast Florida with my family, continuing to paint, make music, experiment and follow wherever the next idea leads. I’ve come to think of it all as a creative life in progress—and I’m increasingly convinced that a life surrounded by art, ideas and things made by human hands is simply a fuller one.
