i paint you permission to believe in jesus’ love, just maybe not the church version.
i paint you permission to risk and believe in yourself.
i paint the unexpected beautiful moments we find while chasing fall down, crazy stupid love.
this is the only place to find me.
in general, artists’ shticks generally suck.
we list a bunch of niche achievements you won’t recognize, name drop in a bumptious kind of way, and use really cryptic words, all in the name of a super ingenious aesthetic.
i believe people who make a difference, do things differently.
so, anyway, joanna gaines has my painting on her wall and totally featured me in her mag. i painted over 9,000 originals for cb2, and have a line of shoes with nobull. also, also i was voted best artist to hang out with in a converted barn in the kamas valley, which is this totally real thing that i for sure did not make up.
i grew up with religion making most of my choices, so i paint the thoughts in my head, in hopes we can still be friends, even if they are not sunday school, approved.

art tells the best stories.
in the most primal way, we humans seek connection. belonging. understanding. we each want to mean something to someone, to be heard, seen, pinned against the wall with vibrancy and life.
art, then, is an intimate form of storytelling – brushstrokes splaying memoirs across a canvas, texture and paint uniting fragments of the past with hope for the future.
i paint to pull you closer,
to breathe life into love lost,
to champion the underdog,
to find out what happens when you don’t give up.
visit me in the kamas valley
