I was born in Biloxi, Mississippi. Based in Denver, Colorado where I became fascinated with art at an early age. I receive my classical training at The REAL Academy of Art Colorado, an atelier approved by The Art Renewal Center, the International Association that evaluates the high standard of classical art and art schools. I apprentice under living master Ali Ghassan.
For me, artmaking is a spiritual practice. From the meditative states observed through the practice itself to the integration through sharing the results with the community, making art is an opportunity for spiritual development and human connection. This process of using basic materials to create these ”windows” of three-dimensional space upon two-dimensional surfaces parallels the Alchemical intention of transforming base metals into gold. You will see this reflected in my work as I follow in the footsteps of the old masters and attempt to create new versions that represent our time.
