I create art to inspire others, I use repurposed vinyls that are inspired by the nature and wildlife around me. I create to bridge the gap.

My favorite type of art to create is 2D nature inspired paintings, I use acrylic because it’s versatile and I am able to create vibrant colors and layers. I use oil on top of the acrylic to add depth and texture. Using acrylics, and occasionally oils, I blend realistic detail with abstract elements to convey the raw emotion and untamed energy of the natural world. This process allows me to create art that is both visually striking and environmentally conscious.
Where do you find inspiration?What inspires me is nature – all the wildlife and amazing landscapes especially where I am located in Montana near Glacier National park. I try to bring that to life in my art, using old vinyl records. It's a way for me to link creativity with taking care of the earth. Everyday I am inspired by the beauty around me. I enjoy painting my perspective of what I see around me, and I enjoy capturing the moments and sharing it with other people.
What would you do with $25,000?My dream is to channel a portion of my art's proceeds into environmental land conservation in the Flathead area and to support volunteer trail crews in Whitefish. I'm also passionate about contributing to wildlife foundations. Beyond that, I envision creating an inclusive art studio—a haven where anyone can explore their creativity, get delightfully messy, and connect with both art and nature. This venture would allow me to fully dedicate myself to my art, pursue my aspirations, & help nature.
