​
I’m an artist based in Houston, TX.
I once created realistic portraits in colored pencil,
but ​I soon became frustrated with the lack of personal expression those called for.
My work has since transformed into colorful, textured, abstract paintings,
and I often incorporate other media as well. 

When working with paint, its diverse viscosities, and often unruly movement,
I explore the push-pull of control and letting go. Learning to focus on the process, while still honoring the product,
has been a healing journey for me to work through intense self-doubt and learn to trust my intuition.

Outside of my creative practice, I am a sign language interpreter.
My wife and daughter mean the world to me, as do our many pets: dogs, chickens, and a cat.
They all get along and look out for each other, and it makes my heart happy.

I’d love to get to know you. Please feel free to reach out about
​commissions, opportunities, current work, or just to say hi:
