Hello
Did you have a dream when you were a child but somewhere along the way you lost it? Ever think that you’ll never have that dream? Yea, me too. What if I told you that you can have that dream? That it’s not too late. You may think I’m crazy, but after laying down my brushes for 12 years, I finally dusted off this dream and made it a reality.

It started with a storm of life that turned into a therapeutic challenge and it became the fuel I needed to dream and breathe life into a dusty corner of my soul. Losing a loved one to cancer hits a depth within you that you never knew existed; but, I exchanged beauty for ashes in my painting.
I’ve been painting in only 3 colors : black, white and gold (iridescent bronze). The combination of what I’ve been able to create with such a limited palate astounds me. These colors, to me, represent beauty from ashes.

I went to school for art in college but then got burned out and frustrated in my senior year. I stumbled into photography and became a wedding photographer for 10 years, laying down my brushes in exchange for an DSLR. When covid hit, my business shut down.
In 2022, my stepmom passed away suddenly from cancer and I picked up my brushes as a means of therapy.

I have a print company that I love, I don’t have any prints in stock, but, if you're interested in a print of a particular piece, shoot me a message and we’ll get one ordered for you!

Of course I can! We can sit down and come up with a theme/idea for a custom piece. You choose the size, and supply references of what you’re inspired by and I’ll create something inspired by those references.
