Artist Statement
I create as an act of devotion.
Each painting is an offering—an artifact shaped in stillness and charged with presence. Guided by synesthesia, I experience the world as frequency, vibration, and color—translating what is often unseen into form. This is my dharma. A sacred practice, daily rituals of attunement.
My work is both a search and a remembering. It is therapy, meditation, and myth-making. It is how I stay close to the mystery. For me, moving colors around on the canvas to create visual imagery is both a therapeutic act of self-realization and a journey towards discovering new meaning and perspective on what it means to be human. The inspiration for my concepts is visual archetypal symbolism distilled from dreams, and artifacts embedded in the culture that surrounds me. I often dig into unknowns, competing with my past self, letting curiosity guide me.
Each piece is distilled spirit, crafted slowly, with reverence. I work with heavy body acrylics, fluorescent and UV-reactive pigments that shift under different light. These paintings are visual relics—meant to be lived with, felt, and passed down.
My process is deeply personal and intentionally uncommodified. I do not offer prints. I do not mass produce. What I create is one-of-a-kind—because the energy behind each work is unrepeatable. To collect one is to be part of its unfolding. The connection between artwork and collector is sacred.
I’ve been painting since I was old enough to hold a brush. My early style was shaped in the wild, whimsical world of Matlacha’s Lovegrove Gallery, where I learned that art should feel alive. I still follow that instinct.
This is my calling. And my work is for those who feel the pull—who understand that real art doesn’t simply just decorate a space, it transforms it.
