About the Artist

Where animal soul meets story

I create art to honor the deep, unspoken connection between humans and animals — the kind that transcends words and lingers in memory. Through expressive realism and storytelling brushwork, my work seeks to capture not just what animals look like, but how they feel — their intelligence, loyalty, emotion, and the silent wisdom they carry.

Many of my pieces are tributes — to animals I’ve known, loved, or admired from afar. Others are inspired by the wild spirit of the land, especially the creatures who inhabit the American West. Whether painting magpies standing sentinel in Idaho skies or orcas who once graced the seas, my aim is to preserve and elevate their presence with reverence and soul.

I believe that art can be both beautiful and functional — a vessel for meaning in our daily lives. That’s why I also translate my paintings into statement-style goods, creating pieces that animal lovers can carry, wear, or gift as part of their story.

Every brushstroke I lay is an act of remembrance, empathy, and awe.
