Layers
I work in layers—color, shape, movement. Each piece is built through feeling, memory, and the things I carry with me.
Father • husband • Artist
Bold abstract work rooted in memory, ancestry, and everyday life.
Most of the time, I’m just following a feeling. My work begins with instinct, emotion, and lived experience. I don’t always know what a piece means when I start.
The meaning shows up later—when I can finally see what I’ve been carrying.
This is a look into my work, my story, and the people behind it.
The story
Where the work begins
There is meaning behind the marks I use. Some of it comes from family. Some of it comes from loss. Some of it comes from the way we move through life and stay connected to each other.
Birds and faces
The three birds are my kids, including one we lost to miscarriage. The faces are family, ancestors, and people still with me in a different way.
Paths and connections
The shapes represent the different paths, directions, and connections we all share. Nothing is placed by accident, even if I don’t fully understand it right away.
The work
Pieces I’ve been sitting with
Every piece starts the same way—no plan, just movement.
Shapes, color, and instinct. Then something clicks, and I realize what it’s really about.
About
Father • Husband • Artist
I make art from what I carry, but this work is not only about me.
It is also about what I want to show my boys — that fear does not have to be something we run from. Sometimes we can face it, sit with it, and turn it into something honest.
I’m learning that as I try to teach them.
What matters
Guiding my boys through life’s mazes.
The art, the film, and the story all come back to family, memory, and learning how to face what is hard without losing yourself.
If it speaks to you
Then it was meant to.
Take your time. Look around. Everything here comes from a real place.
