Meet the Artist
I grew up outside Detroit and moved West after college with no real plan beyond skiing and making art. What was supposed to be a season in Aspen turned into a life here and eventually a career painting the landscapes that made me stay.
My work is rooted in the American West, but I’m less interested in painting a place exactly as it looks than in what it feels like to be there. I start with landscape, memory and time outside, then build each painting through layers of color, texture and intuition.
Today I live and work as a contemporary artist in Aspen, Colorado, creating original paintings from my downtown Aspen studio.
From the Studio
Custom Commissions
Your vision → my canvas.
I’ll work with you to design a piece built for a specific space — residential, commercial, or hospitality. Together we choose the scale, palette, and mood, then I bring it to life in my signature layered style. Each commission is one-of-a-kind, starting at $5,000.
Fine Art Prints
Bring the Rockies home.
Museum-quality prints available year-round in multiple sizes and materials. Each piece is created from my original paintings and designed to carry the grounded, vibrant energy of the mountains into your space.
Private Experiences & Events
Live painting for corporate events, luxury retreats & hospitality.
A signature painting experience for corporate events, brand activations, luxury retreats, and private gatherings. Each guest creates their own original piece — no experience needed. Available for travel.
