Today we hung the work from my “LIMITLESS” show in the studio/gallery and it’s really starting to feel real. Grateful to my family, friends, and collectors who have been part of this — couldn’t have gotten here without you.

This is the final weekend to experience my solo exhibition LIMITLESS at . I’m deeply grateful for the incredible support from my family, friends, students, parents, and collectors—your encouragement means everything. Sharing this body of work has been a truly meaningful experience, and I’m so appreciative of the opportunity to bring it to life.

“Let’s Talk” is the largest piece in my LIMITLESS show (46 x 60 in), and definitely one I spent a lot of time with. There are so many layers and built-up texture in this one—it really became about the energy and emotion between these two figures.
Honestly, it’s one of those paintings that just doesn’t fully come through on a screen. It has a much stronger presence in person.

If you’re nearby, it’s up at through Sunday (5/31). Would love for you to see it in real life.

New beginnings, messy layers, and a little calm waiting to show up. Let’s see where this one lands.

A few warm-ups to start the day 🎨

I love putting paint down freely—no overthinking, just movement and play—before diving into larger, more layered pieces.

There’s nothing like a little creative play to get the ideas flowing.

I love seeing artwork in the context of a room—it makes it so much easier to imagine how a piece will live in your home, office, or workspace.

If you’re curious, you can even send me a photo of your space and I’ll place the artwork right into it so you can get a true feel for it.

Collecting art is personal—it should resonate, feel right, and truly speak to you.

Whoa, wait… ✨

Whoa Wait! is part of my solo show at and on view through May 31st.
This piece is layered with rich texture and intricate abstract details—you really have to experience it in person to take it all in. Photos just don’t do it justice.

If you’re nearby, I’d love for you to stop by the gallery this month and see it up close.

This morning I was out sharing my solo show (opening May 1 at ) with local hotels and businesses—and giving myself a quiet pep talk along the way: you’re worthy, you’re ready, you’re enough.

Putting your work out there is vulnerable… which makes this show all the more meaningful. It’s about boldness, courage, and connection—abstract figurative pieces that tell the story of how we relate, reach, and belong.

Join me for the opening reception
