My story is one of joy and despair, of unlimited dreams and bounded realities. It is this flux that first led me to discover and continues to drive my passion for art and design. When a serious injury required me to redefine my athletic pursuits and professional ambitions, I fueled my pain into art. Many years and challenges later, I continue to use art as a means of meditation and healing. Even when I’m not sitting in front of a blank canvas or open sketchbook, I am always searching for beauty in my world and, as a result, I always find it.
