Artist, creator, visionary.
I am based in the beautiful and vibrant city of Reno, Nevada. Immersed in this particular culture offers unique connections, inspiration and collaborations with a diversified spectrum of creatives. Sterile gallery shows and formal art educations are not the influences here. Rather, the “dirty”, gritty and intimate nature of the artist community brings with it one on one collaborative relationships between artists and collectors with open air farmers markets, small business based pop up events, unrivaled appreciation for tattoo art, larger than life murals, as well as the full sensory experiences of Burning Man. While technique is obviously a cornerstone for success for any artist, in Reno, your authenticity is what will open the eyes, arms and minds of your viewers. There’s no room for pretending or posturing here. It’s scary and challenging, and I love it.
My work has developed organically into two veins. One holds a darker theme exploring visual metaphors to convey emotions within the human shadow. The other offers a softer touch with watercolor studies and feminine aesthetics. Both are rooted in anatomy and figurative subject matter.
I am active on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok with behind the scenes stories, pictures of my latest WIPs and of course sharing my favorite memes. I offer a monthly email for those who prefer more structured content. If you find yourself at one of my live events, do not hesitate to come over for a chat as I always love meeting art appreciators in the flesh. It's the best, bar none.
