Father • Husband • Artist

Bold abstract work rooted in memory, ancestry, and everyday life.

My work begins with instinct, emotion, and lived experience. I don’t always know what a piece means when I start — the finished work reveals what I was carrying.

A first look at the work, the stories behind it, and the pieces shaping what I’m making now.

Sometimes the art understands me before I do.
