From: Dodge City, Kansas
Now: Lawrence, Kansas

Background: Raised in the dry and windy southwestern Kansas cowboy and farming lifestyle. In retrospect, it conjures a nostalgic image, however these roots created more of a springboard to do something different from the conventional. Skateboarding and graffiti helped to offer a culture that fit such renegade passion for expression.

Experience: Visual communication practiced in the form of graphic design, print-based media, and illustration in Phoenix, Arizona for nearly a decade.

Currently: A focus on self-taught, non-traditional, contemporary paintings inspired by the community of Lawrence, Kansas. Using mixed-media such as spray paint, house paint, and various clear coatings to portray a gritty, yet at the same time, smooth approach. Loose, organic line-work on top of recycled wood and canvas create a harmonious surface for something non-stressful to rest the eyes on. A common, emphasized theme of balance, reflection, and remembrance often show through, making way for some experimental explorations of minimalism. Deep thought and attention to detail, combined with even deeper feeling, visually verbalized most commonly in the form of bold portraits and landscapes.
