When it comes to art and design, I try to find a balance between respecting the principles of art while also testing their boundaries. Although I relate most to Abstract Expressionism, I often call upon my early illustrative days of a more whimsical nature. 

I gravitate towards 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 agree with that.

I’m most at home by the beach and I always find inspiration there. Even after living all over the world, there is no place I’d rather be than along a tropical coast beneath coconut palms and fully engulfed in humidity. I was raised in Louisiana and Alabama, educated in Texas and currently reside in Florida. 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.
