I paint to capture those fleeting moments when ordinary scenes become extraordinary memories. Growing up in rural Louisiana amid cypress-lined bayous, I've always been fascinated by the subtle interplay of light, color, and nostalgia - whether it's dawn mist drifting over Louisiana waters or the soft glow on a quiet vintage storefront.

Using only professional-grade oil paints, I carefully select archival-quality cotton and linen canvases, gallery-wrapped formats, hardwood panels, and handcrafted cedar circles to provide each artwork a unique texture and enduring quality. My artistic approach merges classical painting techniques with meticulous attention inspired by my background in corporate strategy, resulting in works characterized by deliberate layers, subtle glazing, and nuanced depth.

While the landscapes and culture of the South deeply influence my style, my artwork isn't confined by geography. My recent pieces have ventured into intimate portraiture, nostalgic Americana, and exploratory abstract studies - all united by an appreciation for atmosphere and a curiosity about memory and emotion. Collectors appreciate this consistent thread in my work, recognizing the clarity of vision behind each unique canvas.

Every painting is an original - crafted slowly, deliberately, and in limited numbers each year to ensure authenticity and quality. I share my creative process openly with collectors, offering glimpses into my studio practice, detailed documentation, and provenance to build a meaningful connection with every piece. Each completed work comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, affirming its value as both a personal heirloom and an enduring investment.
