Being an Atlanta native who turned west in 2013, I have found home here in California’s open expanse. I grew up knowing I was a intrigued by artists and creatives, but I did not start accessing my creative voice until I was well into my 30's.

In the fall of 2015, during a three-month sabbatical, I fell headlong into painting.

As a musician, I began to discover the music hidden inside of the color, composition and connection of big, wild and free shapes.

It made my brain feel very good, and so I kept on it, and here we are.

I hope it makes your brain feel good too.
