How it Started...
All my life, I've had some form of art medium in my hand. I spent most of my young life drawing in folders of copy paper packed away in my school bag. At 16, my art teacher bought a burner and a piece of wood and told me to have at it for a creative project.
That creative project won a superior rating at the VASE State competition. That first pyrography art piece started a fire I thought about for the next 8 years before picking up a burner tool again.
In the interim, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business from the Mays Business School at Texas A&M University in College Station.
How It Came Back...
In 2019, I lost my mom to cancer, which put me through a period of my life without art or creativity. It took a tremendous amount of healing, but by 2022, I got some of my spark back again, literally. I picked up a burner tool again and began rekindling a lost love while still going through my own healing.
Pyrography has been a life line for me to look forward to the future, while still remembering the past.
With history, literature, and the macabre as my biggest inspirations, my childhood fascination with the human condition pours into my artwork in portraits, reimaginations, and artistic interpretations of some of mankind's greatest hits.
All of my original work is available for purchase, with periodic limited prints of some of my favorite work. After all, your artwork should be as unique as you are.
What's Next...
With a self-paced art education and a passion for learning, I create art with a comprehensive syllabus of the classics, ranging from the Homeric epics to Victorian and 19th-century transformation. My art is directly inspired by the text, art history, and philosophy of each period and my social media is my primary source of sharing my art process, inspiration, and stories.
Outside of immersing myself in various art museums and exhibits across the country in Houston, Washington DC, Chicago, Paris, and Amsterdam, I have showcased om various shows in Houston, and plan to continue.
I am available for events, collaborations, and partnerships throughout the year.
