A Little About Me

As a retired U.S. Army veteran with multiple combat deployments, art has become an essential part of my journey toward healing and self-discovery. It serves as both a means of coping with the challenges of PTSD and chronic pain, and as a tool for transforming the way I perceive and engage with the world.

For many years, my perspective was shaped by the demands and experiences of military life, which profoundly influenced how I interacted with life and its complexities. Through my artistic practice, I am rediscovering the beauty and resilience inherent in the world around me. This process not only fosters a sense of renewal but also provides strength and healing, allowing me to reconnect with life in meaningful ways.
