Able Six

I’m a Virginia artist who spent much of my life in business. I started my first company at 22. By 25, I was driving my dream car.

In 2020, I had a heart attack while out running. It changed the direction of my life almost overnight. During recovery, I started drawing again and eventually made the decision to pursue the creative life I had put aside for years.

My work today is minimal and abstract, built around color, proportion, space, and the idea that a few simple forms can still carry a lot of feeling.

I have degrees in finance and marketing, which are wonderful things to have if you plan to work in finance or marketing.

Art? No formal training whatsoever.

Just years of curiosity, trial and error, questionable decisions, occasional breakthroughs, and a healthy disregard for how things are supposed to be done.

My background is in commercial art, and my work has been collected and displayed in private homes, offices, and commercial settings throughout the United States.

Entire office floors in the Washington, DC metro area feature my work, which gave me an early appreciation for how art can shape the feeling of a space at scale.

This body of work is more personal, focusing on broad fields of color, and the emotional effect of restraint.
