I find my muse in the dance of order and chaos, where the unyielding grid meets the freehand stroke. From the riverbanks of St. Louis to the towering steel of Chicago, and now to the plains of Kansas City, I’ve wandered—my soul tethered to the soil, yet ever-reaching for the electric hum of the metropolis.

In my work, I seek the harmony between the past and the present, where the pulse of the digital world merges with the brushstroke of tradition. The landscapes beneath the vast and starry dome speak to me in tongues of light and shadow, their illuminated whispers recalling the early days of pixels and screens that first taught me to see. These nightscapes, with their grids of brilliance and darkness, do more than color my canvases; they etch the very lines of my narrative, allowing me to weave the threads of culture, the echoes of politics, the laughter of satire into a tapestry both vast and intimate.

For me, art is both mirror and voice, a testament to the human spirit’s play between the solemn and the joyful. I invite those who gaze upon my work to delve into the tales I tell, to find delight in the unforeseen, and perhaps, to discover a quiet smile in the midst of the colors and lines that weave my world.
