I am an abstract artist, creator and explorer that’s inspired by the sea.

This website is dedicated to my art and it’s an evolving, multi-media experiment.

Beyond my actual art, I strive to create written, audio, video and other visual content that inspires me, but hopefully provides some value, enjoyment and inspiration to you as well.

I believe in art as therapy. Looking at, and just being around art can be therapy. It can help you relax. It can inspire you. It can cause you to change your mind about things, or even change your life, or the world, in some small way. I think you can say the same thing about the ocean.

My hope is that you’ll enjoy looking at my art. If you love the sea, I hope my art connects you back to what you love on a regular basis. I also hope that the supplemental content and experiences on this website will help you to connect even deeper with my creations as well as myself.

Why do I do all this?

That’s a good question that I continually ask myself as an artist and creator. I’ve thought deeply about this answer and the best answer that I’ve come up with is that I’d like to positively impact someone’s life. I’d like to leave the world a little better than it was before I was here, and I hope my art and creations can do that in some small way.

Whenever my art is hanging on a wall, it has the potential to brighten someone’s day and I can’t think of any better legacy than that.

But, beyond my ramblings, I’ve found no better way to say it than the quote below.

Quote:

“There’s lots of ways to be, as a person. And some people express their deep appreciation in different ways. But one of the ways that I believe people express their appreciation to the rest of humanity is to make something wonderful and put it out there.

And you never meet the people. You never shake their hands. You never hear their story or tell yours. But somehow, in the act of making something with a great deal of care and love, something’s transmitted there. And it’s a way of expressing to the rest of our species our deep appreciation.

― Steve Jobs

I hope you enjoy my work and that it somehow adds a little something to your day.
