Artist Bio
Most people think my work is about psychedelic art.
It isn’t.
The artwork is simply the invitation.
What interests me is what happens after someone slows down enough to really look.
Every piece on this website began with something I couldn't stop thinking about.
Sometimes it was a season of grief.
Sometimes a moment of wonder.
It can even bubble up by words that resound in my head,
or a question that followed me for years before I understood why it mattered.
Creativity is an avenue to understanding my experiences, and untangling the emotions tied to them,
which I can't express any other way.
Over the years, I've realized that no single medium
is capable of telling the whole story.
Some ideas become digital illustrations.
Others become essays, preserved flowers, poetry, photographs,
or collections of objects gathered from the natural world.
They're different expressions of the same practice:
observing, remembering, and making meaning from experience.
I've always been fascinated by duality;
either by symmetry or the patterns that connect opposites.
My work explores the spaces where
grief meets gratitude,
science meets spirituality,
and personal experience becomes something universal.
The longer I create,
the less interested I become in choosing one side over the other.
Recovery, consciousness, memory, nature, and transformation are recurring themes.
Not because I set out to illustrate them,
but because they've shaped the person I continue becoming.
Sobriety gave me the clarity to begin creating with intention.
Grief taught me why that intention mattered.
Nature taught me how to slow down.
And isolation taught me that healing was never meant to happen alone.
I don't believe art exists only to decorate walls.
I believe it can preserve memory, encourage critical thought,
and remind us to look more closely at ourselves, at nature, and at one another.
Whether I'm building a digital illustration over several months,
preserving flowers from my garden,
or writing about the stories behind each collection,
I'm still exploring the same questions.
How do we preserve the moments that change us?

How can my experience help others on their journey?
The responsibility to be a steward for the light
is a higher calling I constantly feel reverberate
through my bones.
It's a quiet hum piercing through the din of the daily rat race.
It shines in the mist as I water my flowers on a sunny day.
It is the invisible bridge I walk on without looking down or worrying if I will fall.
It's as if we can only understand happiness if we get knocked around a bit in life,
as if suffering was the prelude to gratitude,
we are all so incredibly blessed.
If my work has a purpose,
it's to leave the world a little more thoughtful than I found it.
My work is rooted in three ideas:
nurture what matters,
heal what hurts,
and teach what you've learned.
Everything else is simply the medium.
Welcome.
I'm glad you found me.
