Art & Design
Art allows me to express the complexities of my thoughts. As a visual thinker, music often moves me to imagery, guiding the way colors and shapes interact on the canvas or in three-dimensional spaces. Surrealism captivates my imagination, enabling me to explore themes that transcend reality and challenge perceptions. There are no limits to the mediums I am willing to work with; whether it’s painting, sculpture, digital art, or mixed media, each form presents an opportunity to merge my influences into something unique and thought-provoking.
All work posted here is original.

Native Texan
My story is from the perspective of being a Texan. Like most natives we are proud of our state and our heritage. This painting symbolizes that sense of pride.
Panhandle Paradise
The creation of this work began in the panhandle of TX on the Richards family Ranch. As a family we would often go out to check the cattle, have a picnic and shoot guns. The land is vast and wide. It is windy and the clouds move often in contrasting directions. The dust and light create amazing colors in the dusk skies.
Life is Like…
This relief print exemplifies the simplistic beauty of nature. The fine quill holding strong and intact long after it’s left its host. Art always evokes questions for me. Did you know it takes five to seven years for a quill to decompose? Largely due to it’s keratin content.
Chirp
I enjoy learning about nature. This little guy was in a Smithsonian handbook about birds and he caught my eye so I drew him just because it made me happy. Not every piece of art is always intended for other viewers but he’s so cheerful I had to share.
