My mission is to create art that makes you feel like a kid again.

I don’t want to create art unable to touch people who see it or sit behind glass.

I want to recreate that feeling you used to have when you saw a cool brand poster you wanted to tear off the wall and put in your bedroom.

Take you back to where you had something you were excited to show and tell with your best friends.

A space you can sink into and imagine where you will go like when you would create forts in your living room.

Whether it’s through a small piece you can put on your wall, a large-scale painting, or an experience of leading you through an art class,

I want to help spark a feeling of connection.

I have been trying to chase that feeling when you ignite a spark in someone’s eyes. That instant where they feel seen. Nothing can replace that warmth that follows believing something was made for you, where you live, or someone you love.

At first, I’ll admit that chase was driven by my need to find that within myself. I was in high school and thought I was going to college to be a soccer player who studied physical therapy. 15 diagnosed concussions later, I found art as therapy. My difficulty finding words was quelled by the sudden serenity of drawing and the oasis of the art room. I was experimenting with materials, trying to reinvent my sense of self, navigating a pathway to relate to others in such an isolating physical and mental state, and felt this focused relief I found nowhere else. I still thank my high school art teacher to this day.

It’s a miracle I am where I am despite my medical history. I have been the posterchild of brain trauma for hospitals, interviewed, and gotten so many confused looks from doctors when I share what I have been through. I am back to where I used to be, but even better because I have learned so much. I not only have learned more about myself, but also the beauty of sharing these experiences.

This chase has brought me through a journey through professional fine arts training, graphic design, marketing, community programming, and ultimately - quitting it all to start my own business.

Now, I create art to be a conduit for stories and the feelings that only exist in your bone marrow. I see my works as a curation of micro-opportunities for that spark.

In this exploration, I have been hunting art through the use of marketing and advertising, soccer jersey designs and gameday LED screens, the decisions of button designs we often bypass, and more. Some think it’s odd that I have this business strategy side of me and also paint, but to me it makes perfect sense.

I love to work with businesses and brands to create that connection and stories that actually make a difference in their everyday lives. I also love the very physical labor of love with large-scale murals to create immersive experiences in stores, offices, and homes with murals and window art. I love helping others find that fun few hours to turn off their phones and paint something they never thought they could before.

Everything I create has a piece of me, but also is customized and created for the viewer. As I create with others for their families, towns, businesses, and passions, I learn a little bit more about myself in the process. Then I gift it and pay it forward again.

So please, do you have a fun weird idea? Do you want to try something new? Do you want a partner to help you make something come to life? I’d love to hear it.

FAQs

  • Painting the town(s) across the globe. I’m currently based in Colorado, but love to travel and have a very flexible schedule!

    Below are a list of locations I’m planning on visiting in 2024. Let me know if you’d like to meet up or start a project while I’m there: Tennessee (Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville), Missouri (Kansas City, St. Louis), Oklahoma (Tulsa), South Carolina (Charleston), Germany, and Belize.

    If you don’t see your city, reach out and let’s set something up!

  • The standard rate of murals is $20-50 per square foot. This is a wide range, but really it depends on the design you'd like to do, amount of wall prep, your budget, and timeline. All mural-specific materials, such as paint, tape, etc. will be an additional charge and totalled at the end WITH receipts.

    I'm also a big believer in everyone having access to art. If you have a tight budget, as long as you're flexible with timeline, I might be able to work something out with you. I also have ample experience in working with grants from towns and organizations to help make your dream a reality.

  • It really depends on the amount of detail and size. One-color murals in a medium room ready for me would take a day on average. As more colors, shading, and room protection is needed, more time is required. I prioritize quality over speed.

  • I love watching a room transform and seeing people’s eyes light up when they walk in. My background as a professionally trained artist and a career in marketing/creative design helps turn your space from a room to a gathering place for creativity, inspiration, and connection.

    Growing up, I was surrounded by creative, curious, practical, hard-working mentors who brighten people’s days through their talents. Every day, I saw the power of intentionality and beauty outside of the “fine art” world.

    My mother is a color expert with a creative vision as a faux finisher. She would bring me into homes and talk about lifestyle, the need for clear edges, differences in interior design preferences, and respecting others’ homes.

    My father is a creative marketer and dreamer who encourages big ideas, diligence, and fun. I have seen the value of deep collaboration and alignment of goals to make something beautiful. And that something beautiful doesn’t need to be big, it just needs to spark that joy and glint in someone’s eyes.

  • A culmination of my years of experience with art, strategy, and business, I work to help make your creative vision come true. I work with you to identify your goals, ideate a creative strategy within your existing resources, and develop a plan for us to achieve it together.

    I have experience in:

    • Window Paintings

    • Immersive Art Installations

    • Community Engagement Projects and Strategy

    • Marketing and Creative Direction

    • Leading Arts Classes, such as Paint and Sip

    • Working professional fine artist working in mediums including oil paint, screenprint, lithography, and more.

    • and more!
