I’m an Austin-based artist working between calligraphy, abstraction, and sacred visual language.
My work brings together handmade lettering, painterly force, historical memory, and symbolic form. I’m interested in the place where discipline and raw feeling meet — where a mark can behave like a wound, a prayer, a relic, or a flare sent up from difficult ground.
The result is a practice rooted in resilience: not as slogan, but as structure. I make paintings and calligraphic works that carry pressure, beauty, scar tissue, and dignity in the same breath.
The Work
- Original Paintings Acrylic works on canvas or panel, built as visual anchors for homes, offices, chapels, studios, and ambitious interior spaces.
- Calligraphic Works & Studies Handmade lettering, works on paper, and mixed-media experiments where inscription becomes image.
- Commissions & Site-Specific Projects Custom work developed around a collector’s space, story, architecture, or symbolic intention.
Approach
My paintings fuse lyrical abstraction, neo-expressionist energy, and calligraphic structure with a strong undercurrent of sacred-image traditions. I am drawn to forms that suggest bloom, threshold, icon, weather, relic, scar, or procession without locking themselves into straightforward representation.
Much of the work operates between painting and inscription. The marks may read as language, but often they move beyond legibility into rhythm, pressure, and presence. I want the image to feel deliberate but alive — structured, but still carrying heat.
Ultimately, I make work that feels human, layered, and lived-in. Art should do more than decorate a room. At its best, it gives the room a backbone.
