Art has been woven into my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up alongside my dad, a tattoo and portrait artist, I spent countless hours growing up drawing, lettering, and creating various tattoo flash designs. In high school, pencils quickly turned into paint, glass, clay, and whatever else I could get my hands on. I made sculptures and portraits, experimented with different mediums, and even customized my friends’ skateboards and longboards.

Over the years, what started simply as a love for making art slowly grew into opportunities to create for friends and family, businesses, homes, and larger public spaces. Today, I work as a sculptor and muralist on the Gulf Coast of Florida, bringing more than 30 years of creating and experimenting into everything I make.

I’m especially drawn to the raw, organic forms found in nature, here where I live and also from my travels. I mainly work with obsidian clay to create sculptural pieces inspired by the textures and shapes of lava rock, while my mural work allows me to transform large, blank spaces into something unexpected, unique and alive.

I love incorporating flowing swirls, ribbons, butterflies, and florals into my work. All are elements that bring movement, softness, and a sense of whimsy to even the most dramatic or sharp forms. I’m drawn to the contrast between the raw and the delicate, the organic and the unexpected, and finding ways to let those opposites exist together, even if it’s uncomfortable.

Whether I’m working with clay, paint, a digital sketch, or a completely blank wall, I love the process of taking something seemingly formless and giving it breathe, movement, and a life of its own.

I’m still creating, still experimenting, and still finding my way, however, I am excited to see where this creative path takes me next!
