I want to offer an enriching alternative to the dissonant energy of our ever-more-digital lifestyle. We visit a special place, get lost in a live performance, or savor a barista’s cup for the transformative joy it brings. In the same way, I strive to nourish with captivating imagery. Valuing representational oil painting with just the right level of abstraction, I hope to share compelling tales while celebrating the timeless appeal of the medium.
Active military service, a corporate engineering career, travel, and engagement with people of the Global South have all calibrated my worldview with an appreciation for our shared proximity to despair. But I also have a salient hope to share in my paintings - something we can all celebrate regardless of our differences.
