I’m loyal — my family first, my two boys, the people around me. I surf, I skate, I snowboard, I ride motorcycles, I chase the ocean and I travel as much as I can. We’re small ants in this fast changing world. So I make bright, fun, uplifting, energetic statement, huge pieces so people can take home a little bit of me and bring that energy into their home.
I’m collected by visionaries and taste-makers, yes. But more importantly, my work lives and breathes in people’s homes, in the rooms where they wake up, where they gather, where life actually happens. That tells you everything. What I offer isn’t decoration, it’s a frequency. If you’re drawn to it, it’s probably because you were already tuned in to it.

UrbanKinetic
Each piece in the Urban Series is a bold, vibrant statement, characterized by a fearless interplay of color, texture, and form. The abstract layering technique allows colors to bleed, merge, and emerge in unexpected ways, creating a sense of movement and energy that captures the chaotic beauty of urban life. My experience was passed down from my mother, a fine arts educator. This lineage of expertise infuses my work with a disciplined yet innovative spirit, blending technical precision with creative freedom. The result is a series that feels both timeless and contemporary, paying homage to the traditions of fine art while pushing the boundaries of abstract expressionism. Each piece is a vibrant declaration of my artistic vision, crafted with unparalleled skill and a deep reverence for the transformative power of art.
This barn feels exactly like my paintings. Bold, alive, and electric—architect-designed to perfection, where the towering olive tree, skeleton staircase, music stage & motorcycles collide the moment you enter
My Icon Collection reimagines timeless legends layered over my urban series with relentless texture, thickness, and shifting hues—painting, scraping, and stripping away parts of the figure again and again so the raw backdrop burns through and the icon lives forever.
The canvas was never the boundary — it was just the starting point.
From my own 2026 statement
Melin, Adidas, Lind, Hermès, House of Creed, Eleventy Milano, Bowie House, British Customs (Triumph Motorcycles), IF360, Rolls-Royce and Virgin Unite. Hats, sneakers, surfboards, fragrance, hotels and motorcycles — all of it off the canvas.
Most of it is bigger than the room you first imagined it in.

Paintings with parts bolted on
PopPlayful
Every piece in this band carries a real object fixed into the surface: the Borrani wire wheel off a Ferrari SWB, the chrome grille of a ’69 Bronco, a RUF wheel, a working spigot.
So say I do 30, 40 pieces… I do all of my pieces on top of this. And whatever happens to it happens to it, but it’s got over 700 layers.

I lift one, date it, and it becomes a work in its own right.
Painted on the barn floor
Studio FloorDevoted
One Canvas. One Year. One Legacy.
Each Studio Floor piece begins with an untouched canvas spread flat across my studio. Over the course of 12 months, that canvas becomes an emotional palimpsest. By year’s end, it contains over 700 layers of intuitive movement, color response, and evolving rhythm. There is only one Studio Floor piece released annually. It cannot be replicated. It is never repeated.
These are not derivative echoes of other works. They are living time capsules that encode the entire creative arc of a year. Capturing spills of layers, brush, palette overspray, and pigment experiments from every painting created that year.

The studio
Come and see where I work
It’s a working barn, a gallery, a bar and my house at the same time. I filmed this walk through it myself, on my phone, in one take — and every quotation on this page is my own, off the soundtrack of it.

Here’s my little conversation pit. Drop down seating section where I bring all my interior designers, collectors.

This is a very special piece of mine. This is my studio floor… I put a canvas down and do all of my pieces on top of this… it’s got over 700 layers.

All my mom’s art books. She taught the master’s program, so I grew up around it. These are all of her books over 60 years.
The big black-and-white portrait is on exhibition at Roc Nation headquarters in NYC. A gallery showing with Silo Ridge is being planned; dates are not set, and this square will carry them when they are.

Studio visits
Kingston Springs, TN
Full kitchen, full bar, a conversation pit and a loft. I would rather show you the work in the room than email you a PDF.
Prints
Take one home
A short run of limited editions, signed and numbered. Or build your own: pick a series, pick the piece, pick the size, and my printer ships it to you directly on canvas or archival paper.
Orders come to me and go straight to my printer — acrylic pigment on canvas, rolled in a tube and shipped to your door. Edition sizes and prices are still mine to confirm, so a print is quoted on request. I never price original paintings publicly.
Account
Private vaults
I’ve got… a lot of stuff in my private collection, not for sale.

Collectors and designers I’ve opened an account for see three things this page will never show: the full catalogue with pricing, the personal collection that isn’t for sale, and a lower studio tier. Use the account control in the top right.
