About The Artist

A Miramar Beach, Florida based mixed-media artist who works primarily with epoxy resins. I was born with a passion for creation. As a child, I showed strong interest in music. At the age of eight, began playing guitar. Over the years, I continued to explore other musical instruments. My passion to create grew. On October 24th, 2007, the day before my 21st birthday, I suffered a life-changing injury, leaving my left hand badly burned and unable to play guitar. I was forced to explore other creative outlets. Instead of going out to celebrate the legal drinking age, I decided to divert my attention to canvas. Just as I had taught myself to play music, I taught myself to paint. The original finished first piece was done on October 25th 2007, my 21st birthday. My work has evolved since, through years of experimental painting with various mediums. My recent works are abstract and distinguishable by layered depth and dimensional flux. Each piece is a unique expression of the soul, all one of a kind. 

Many artists have something they're trying to say with their work. I do not. I have no pre-meditated ideas or end games. When I step into the studio, I have very little idea where the artistic journey will lead me. For me, the studio has always been a place where I can take my anxiety,  pain, and the immenseness of everyday life and alchemize it into something positive, something inspirational, something beautiful. That's why I create.
