I’ve never followed a particularly straight path. I skated for Rollerblade in the early ’90s, performed with Ringling Bros. from 1996 to 1998, and then followed a fascination with the emerging internet into a 25-year career in Silicon Valley tech, where I led teams and spoke internationally on Search Engine Optimization.

Curiosity has been the thread connecting each chapter. When something captures my attention, I immerse myself in it and follow where it leads. In 2018, that curiosity led me to painting. What began alongside my career in tech gradually became the center of my life, and in 2025, I left tech to pursue art full time.

Today, I live and paint on the road along the East Coast, working from my Airstream studio with my cat Ozzy (Prince of Darkness). My work moves between abstraction and the recognizable world, shaped by color, energy, movement, and the places, people, and moments I encounter along the way.

You can find me, and much of my work, at art events throughout Florida in winter and the Northeast in summer. My work has also been exhibited with The Artery Gallery, Wayne County Arts Alliance, White Space Gallery, Sophia Stef Gallery, and Upfront Exhibition Space. I’m a member of the Pocono Arts Council and the Wayne County Arts Alliance.

My art is bold, colorful, and a little rebellious - much like the path that brought me here.

 

Artist Statement

My work explores the space between abstraction and recognition. Drawing from daily life, photographs, memory, and invention, I transform colorful landscapes, interesting moments, and scenes of unexpected humor or absurdity into scenes that are partly observed and partly imagined.

Working primarily in acrylic, I use palette knives and brushes to build layers of color, movement, and texture, introducing paint-marker lines that may remain gestural or develop into figures and fragments of a scene. 

Evolving from abstract landscapes through pure abstraction and into figurative abstraction, my paintings balance story with ambiguity. A lake may be represented by color blocks; the feeling of a small town might be represented by spray paint and drips, everyday figures may acquire animal ears. I’m interested in preserving the particular beauty, tenderness, strangeness, or whimsy that made the image worth exploring. 

I want the finished work to feel immediate and alive while leaving room for viewers to find their own associations within it.
