I have a degree in accounting, was a software developer for 5 years, and that all led to my true passion one day when I decided to try and draw art for a video game. I picked up a pencil, fell in love with the process immediately, and never wrote a line of code for the game.

Initially, I started off drawing with an emphasis in realistic pencil drawings, particularly portraits. I had great success there and it taught me so much, but eventually wanderlust crept in and I saw artists painting with colorful, complex brushstrokes that came alive on the canvas, and I thought I have to get in on that. So I switched…again.

Since then, I’ve been painting mostly in oil, acrylic, and gouache but still with that desire to explore and learn as much as I possibly can.

I love portraits yet sometimes I can’t help but find myself called to the intricacies of different animals. The right still life with the perfect play of light and shadow begs to be painted but then a moody and foreboding landscape steals my attention.

This is what I love about art though, the ability to explore any and every angle of my curiosity and it’s maybe why art is the only pursuit that I never seem to tire of.

These days you can see into my painting process and come explore with me on my YouTube channel or reach out for one-on-one private lessons.
