About the Artist

I am a Dallas-born-and-raised (and trained) visual artist who focuses on oil painting. There is something equally visceral and mysterious working in oil paint, and I am regularly impressed by the qualities earth pigments and natural oils afford my sensibilities. The wonder that I’ve found in painting drives me to explore the awe and grandeur of the world within me and the world around me.

I stand amazed in the locations where I discover a profound sense of vision within my immediate surroundings. This appearance isn’t burdensome or eerie by any measure, but it does cause me to pause and examine. I used to find these places in epic landscapes and dynamic cloudscapes, but now I find they punctuate my daily life. Such happenings provide a better, and truer, sense of the sublime for my paintings. These moments of majesty in the mundane have become my favorite places to create and explore through painting.
