I'm a self-taught artist, musician and maker based in Portland, Oregon. My work is founded
on an intuitive approach with a trust in not knowing. I've never lacked inspiration and have made
art obsessively since childhood, allowing the ever-unfolding process to be my teacher.
I've not sought to emulate, but rather to hone that which flows naturally through me. This approach, I believe, engages the subconscious and therefore, the unexpected. My visual work covers a
range of media from watercolor and ink to dimensional mixed media works, all made in an
attempt to penetrate deeper into the mystery.
Aside from my art and musical pursuits. I've been a maker and serial entrepreneur from a young
age. I've owned a guitar shop, made graphic drum heads, built furniture, made clocks,
windchimes, customized guitars, boutique album packaging and more. These days I'm mostly
making my art and music and doing large format fine art printing, making stickers and doing
professional art hanging for local interior designers.
In 2019 I had the good fortune of meeting artist Danny Stephens. He invited me to live-paint at
a festival for the first time and it changed my world. Shortly thereafter I became a founding
member of The Haven. I feel incredibly grateful to be part of such an inspired and supportive
community and for the opportunity to converse and share with the public. Art is good, and I love it.
