I am a Bay Area artist whose work celebrates depth, emotion, and connection to something bigger than us. I approach the creative process the same way I do with clients in my psychotherapy practice — by delving into the unknown with curiosity and courage, hoping to unearth something new and remarkable. I often work from photographs, aiming to capture their unique spirit while adding an emotional or spiritual dimension that gives them new life.

When I’m not creating art , I am an avid martial artist, music lover, sports fan and proud dad.

I have shown in solo and group shows in the San Francisco Bay Area, Portland OR and Denver CO. My clients include private and public collectors as well as municipal and non-profit organizations.
