Watercolor
Houston, Texas
Painting mostly wet on wet, I let the randomness of the colors flow into place creating depth and wonder. I focus mainly on insects, since they tend to be misunderstood and underappreciated for the quiet good they bring to this world. I started this for those who want to bring nature indoors without the concerns of bringing actual nature in your house. Also, my hope is that with these creatures presented as art, the viewer will discover an appreciation for the small life all around us that we must take for granted.

What does Deep ellum mean to me?

Whenever I visit Dallas I like to first hit the Arboretum and then visit the Deep Ellum district for a drink or two. My spouse and I wander through art-laden walls, strokes of color telling a story of culture and resilience. Deep Ellum is not just a place for us; it's an ever-changing masterpiece, a testament to the undying spirit of the unconventional.
