Treasure the color in every day
I enjoy blending a natural, coastal inspiration with the influences of mindful living here in Southern California. When a painting finds its way home, it's a great feeling that the artwork will help a customer find a sense of peace within themselves and create a feeling of sanctuary in their space.
Living in New York City’s East Village as a painter, graphic designer, and illustrator was a formative time in my life; it provided influences from around the world, and brought me to the heart of who I am as an artist.
The physicality of the painting process becomes meditative; preparing the surface, finding a way through the vigorous layering, and then working it into a thoughtful moment to be discovered through the viewer's introspection.
Over the years, clients have found my work through galleries, industry events, Dwell Magazine, Architectural Digest, and other fine industry publications. Notable projects include the juried MADE section in the Architectural Digest Home Design Show, a panoramic custom painting for Blesso Properties in NYC which was featured in the NY Times, a commission for Dwell Magazine's Harlem House in NYC, and small works included in a bedroom makeover by Thom Filicia for InStyle Magazine.
It's my pleasure to answer any questions about pricing, shipping, custom art, or to advise about how artwork will look in the area you're considering.
