CREATIVE STATEMENT
As an illustrator and muralist, I create art that communicates complex ideas and feelings in an approachable way. I find public art to be the most rewarding because it brings joy to everyday life. Using simple tools like a paintbrush and exterior house-paint, I transform barren spaces like garages and construction barriers into vibrant works of art. My bold, graphic, and line-work style with a limited palette is universal, fun, and respectful. I’m thankful to create pieces of work that tell a story and help people feel increased joy in their surroundings.

Q&A
What is the largest mural you ever made?
I recently finished a mural for the City of Walnut Creek, CA that is over 80ft long and 28ft high.
Which do you prefer: hand-painting or vinyl graphics?
I have prepared art for many vinyl murals, but hand-painting always feels more special and has more 'life'.
What would be your dream mural job?
I hope to continue traveling further afield to bring art and joy to more communities and cities around the world!
