It all began with a crisis.

Born and raised in Silicon Valley, California, I spent most of my professional career in the tech industry. Though by many standards I happened to be pretty good at that life, it never fully squared with who I imagined myself to be. It took a series of crises to really force me to look at myself, the decisions I’d made, and what my life had become.

Sheltering in place during Covid really brought a lot of this to the forefront and I found myself looking to explore parts of me that were untapped. I turned to art and brought the family along as a way for us to have fun and connect with each other.

Since then, I’ve made many significant changes in my life to better align with the type of life I want to live — art has become my primary focus along with investing the health and well-being of my self and family.

Creating art is now essential for me to process thoughts and emotions; it is how I find my flow state. Thus, my art is rarely an attempt to paint what I see, instead it represents what I feel.

I am so grateful you’re here and hope my work evokes something within you.

Cheers!
