Moving from the flight line to a full-time creative practice has been a journey rooted in a "figure-it-out" mentality. Based in Ocala, Florida, I’m a self-taught muralist and artist specializing in a dynamic blend of acrylic and mixed media. My work is where I bring my childhood obsessions—pop culture, comic heroes, and aviation—to life with my own hands.

My path wasn’t always aimed at the canvas. It actually began with a degree in Criminal Justice and a plan for law enforcement. However, life shifted in 2020 when my grandmother’s battle with pancreatic cancer led me back home to care for her. It was during that time that I picked up a brush and taught myself to paint as an emotional outlet. Before she passed, she saw the very beginning of my career and instilled in me the courage to do this for a living. Her support remains the foundation of every piece I create.

That inspiration is matched by the surreal experience of transitioning from a fan in the comic convention crowds to the artist behind the table. Supported by a tight-knit circle of family and friends—and pushed by my uncle who saw my potential early on—my goal now is to reach for even bigger opportunities to live life doing what I love.

After years of navigating public art studios, I’ve intentionally moved my practice to a home-based studio. This shift has turned a former challenge into a strength, giving me the sanctuary and accessibility I need to sustain a high-volume workload. When I’m not traveling the convention circuit, my focus is on the ground: transforming the community through large-scale murals, commissioned art, and custom window paintings.

Having mastered both the craft and the business from the ground up, I stay focused on the daily grind. While I’ve phased out formal mentorships to prioritize my studio work, I still have a deep passion for sharing honest, "behind-the-curtain" insights with fellow artists. It’s a constant reminder that building an unexpected, beautiful life happens one canvas, one mural, and one person at a time.
