I’m an artist, high school art educator, and father whose work is inspired by time spent outdoors with family on trails, near the water, in parks, and in the quiet in-between moments nature gives us.
My art explores our relationship with the natural world: the beauty we’re drawn to, the joy of being outside, and the understanding that we’re part of these spaces, not separate from them. I’m especially interested in the histories held in these sacred landscapes, layered with stories, memory, and meaning long before we arrive.
Spending time in these environments shapes how I see and what I make. Being present in these places, and sensing their depth and quiet significance, guides my work. Creating art is my way of reflecting on those experiences, honoring the connection between people and place, and acknowledging our shared responsibility to care for and advocate for these spaces.
