Creating art lets me turn emotions into something visible, connect with others, and leave meaning behind that words alone can’t express.

My favorite type of art to create is public murals—especially ones that carry hidden messages or layered meaning for people to discover. And with my canvases it's not just decorating a space, but quietly shifting how people see things.
Where do you find inspiration?Put simply, I'm inspired by truth beneath the surface—in people, systems, and places—and I use art to reveal it without shouting. My influences: Carl Jung, Taoism, Banksy, Billy the Kid
What would you do with $25,000?There's a pair of doc Martin's I've been wanting for a while and I would use it to improve my little art studio on my property, add a small bathroom and maybe a kitchenette. I'd like to host art classes in my studio for my community, someday.
