Have you ever noticed how certain colors change your mood? A burst of neon pink can feel playful while deep blues invite calm. For me, painting is more than mixing pigments — it’s therapy, storytelling, and a reminder to embrace emotions that words can’t always hold.
“we’ll always be the one tough act to follow”
Painted in Denver, this was one of my first nude portraits. I was just starting to understand value and really simplified using just shadows and highlights.
When I first began layering fluorescent underpaintings beneath my portraits, I realized something: color doesn’t just look good, it feels good. The chaos of vibrant lines, the glow of unexpected hues, the way texture catches light all creates energy that transforms a blank wall into something alive.
That’s why I create art that’s unapologetically bold. Whether it’s a giclée print of a nude figure in electric greens, a whimsical cow piece that makes you smile, or a western landscape that connects you to open skies, my goal is the same: to let color become part of your daily rhythm.
