Hi, it’s nice to meet you!

About Me

I’m a self-taught traditional artist and art director from Nashville, Tennessee. My primary medium is graphite pencils with hints of painted color. I also enjoy adding digital enhancements to my artwork, incorporating vibrant colors, intricate textures, and expressive typography. All of my work is inspired by music, rooted in creating a physical representation of the imagery that songs create both lyrically and sonically.

Through my work, it’s my goal to capture the essence, feeling, and ultimately the journey that music takes the listener on. I strive to intertwine the beauty of the natural world with the rich tapestry of human experiences.

Drawing inspiration from the Renaissance era, I infuse my work with its timeless charm, combining elements of realism with a touch of psychedelic allure while maintaining the soul expressed in Renaissance artworks.

Alongside creating my original pieces, I work as an Art Director, collaborating with musicians and creative teams on projects ranging from album covers and tour art to branded materials, content releases, and merchandise.


My Story

For as long as I can remember I’ve had a deep passion for creating. Art was etched into my childhood, quickly becoming a fundamental part of my life.

Whether it was a simple sketch or completing a massive project, art always found its way to me. Music, another essential in my life, always took me on the most spectacular adventures. It lead me on journeys beyond this world, guiding me on extraordinary odysseys through realms unknown, where imagination reigns supreme and the mind paints vivid tapestries of wonder.

The pieces I create are setting those worlds free from the confines of my imagination by unleashing them onto paper, allowing them to dance freely upon the canvas of reality.

Welcome to a glimpse into my world(s), I am so happy you found your way here.

Here’s to the journey.
