My artistic journey began with the intent to create something beautiful. There was a lot of divisive rhetoric in society in early 2017, especially on social media, and the goal was to create something beautiful that could bring something positive. Which is why in the beginning, My painting were mainly posted on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. As the years have gone by the intent of the art has somewhat shifted. Instead of a focus on beauty, the intent is now to create connections, to evoke feelings, but also to make it fun. Early landscape paintings soon evolved into referencing Star Wars in paintings of the Bay Area landscapes. Once the Pandemic hit, I shifted to doing animal portraits as a way to switch focus from the reality of a lock down, and finding comfort in that animals quietly went about their business not knowing anything about our stress.

Hopefully his work can inspire others, and bring some happiness, and inspiration.
