Howdy! When it comes to art + design I tend to set the rules aside.  As a result, I have no guidelines to adhere to and no fences around my creativity. Although I relate most to Abstract Expressionism, I often call upon my early illustrative days of a more whimsical nature. 

I love color but also need vast amounts of white space and I'm forever playing with the balance between the two in both fine art, illustrations and the design of spaces. My work has been described as a calm in the chaos and I would happily agree with that.

I'm coastal + southern and I always find inspiration there. Even after living all over the world, I am forever haunted by the Southern coast and it's no secret that I love it. I was raised in Louisiana and Alabama, educated in Texas and currently reside in Florida. The culture and soul of the coast feeds the imagination like nowhere else.  Geography, water and wide open spaces make their way into my work time and time again. I attended Baylor University where I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree and followed it up with a second degree from the University of Texas in Arlington.  I began painting over 25 years ago and have enjoyed every step of the growth process along the way.  Working out of both Jupiter and the 30A area of Florida is an absolute dream and an endless source of inspiration.  

I consider it an enormous gift to get to create for a living. Seek first His perfect Kingdom - the rest is gravy.
