My work lives at the intersection of science and perception, knowing and energetic communication.

Giant paintings of music, emotion, and ancient languages. Sound translates into color, form, and movement, and intricate glyphs emerge from an ancient energetic source. These are marks that carry resonance and wisdom that cannot be spoken in ordinary language. Because chromesthesia is rare on its own—combined with channeled language even more so—this union creates artwork that is truly one of a kind.
Where do you find inspiration?The work always begins with music. Jazz, new music, classical music. Living composers ask me to paint their compositions, interpreting every sound, vibration and emotion in color, shape and texture. Ancient languages emerge with messages unreadable, but felt. If one is to stand before my work, it is to step into the same space I stood in during its creation, where felt sound, a prism of color, and vibrational communication converged into form.
What would you do with $25,000?If awarded the $25,000 People’s Artist Prize, I would donate a portion to support affordable artist space in Colorado Springs and use the remainder to advance The Resilience Project by paying local artists, dancers, assistants, and collaborators fairly for their time, skill, and labor. The prize would help turn the project’s core belief into practice: resilience is built through networks of support.
