About

 

I believe art should command space, not merely decorate it. My intention is not just to be seen, but to stop people in their tracks. I create work designed to transform environments, provoke curiosity, and spark emotional connection. Whether it's a commuter rushing by, a traveler pausing for breath, or a child looking up in awe, my art is a call to engagement. It invites viewers to see differently, to feel deeply, and to remember.
 

My foundation was forged in the high-energy environment of Los Angeles mural studios, where I cut my teeth painting commissions for private residences, office buildings and luxury hotels in Las Vegas. I was on teams assigned to paint panoramic vistas that would let visitors from all over the world experience a bit of ancient Roman history, tour the magic of Egypt, and imagine they are on a beach in the middle of a desert of dreams. That experience honed my technical mastery: realism, depth, scale, lighting, and stylistic versatility. But more importantly, it taught me how to shape atmosphere - how to own a wall, a ceiling, an environment.
 

Returning to my home-town of San Francisco, I spent twenty-seven years building a solo practice rooted in rigor, wonder, and a deep engagement with the world around me. My inspiration was the living, breathing urban and agricultural landscape - its diversity, its velocity, its raw beauty and daily reinvention. I translate lived experiences into powerful visual statements that speak across cultures and communities.
 

Travel and adventure have fed my creative spirit as an artist. Leaving my hometown of SF was not easy and it has been a continuous growth ever since. This country offers much diversity and a small town in New Hampshire is a testimony to that truth. Three years building a community and creating art there was magical. Then it was time to contrast that experience with a move to South America. Five months in Colombia, Peru and Chile was exotic inspiration that filled my sketchbooks. Ultimately, projects and a large commission from the states bloomed while below the equator and so it made sense to return stateside. Now we are in Asheville, North Carolina. Considered the Paris of the South, it is a town surrounded by lush beauty and a temperate rain forest. This beautiful spot is committed to art and artists and we are committed to contributing to its resurgence since the hurricane awhile back. The adventure continues and art making is the final frontier.
