I’m a painter and illustrator currently living in Los Angeles, California. I grew up in Ohio, but attended art school from 2006-2010 in California, which is what brought me out west to where I am now. I am currently a full-time studio artist.

I have produced several large-scale murals across the US and Mexico, and also produce a wide range of work for a variety of clients in education, tech, food, and more. I’m currently sponsored by art suppliers such as Liquitex, Holbein, and Trekell Art Supplies, and my painting videos have been featured by many online publications over the years.

While I mostly produce artwork in my studio in Los Angeles, large-scale work has become a passion of mine in the past five years. I have shown work in galleries all over the world for the past decade, and the ability to now travel to create site-specific work has opened up a new creative window for me. Being a full-time artist means I wear many hats, from running an online store to creating videos and social media content, but painting is my passion and the opportunity to work big is always so exciting. Stretching your legs and working at scale is an awesome break from producing in studio.

My personal art style is defined by technique in application and dynamic color, and is blocky, pixellated, and bright. My work usually represents animals, human features, or objects up close, broken down into interpretations of light and color. My paintings are designed to exist carefully between mechanical and fluid, representational and abstracted.

I currently live and create in Highland Park, CA. I’ve got two rescued rabbits that live in my studio and watch me paint, and my time outside of work is spent cooking, tending my succulent garden, traveling, and exploring my city.
