Costa Rican Red Torch Ginger Painting

Born and raised in Los Angeles, my family and I have adventured across the country, chasing opportunities in Nevada, Delaware, Florida, Texas, and now Ohio. We've also traveled abroad, and many of those experiences continue to shape my artistic perspective I was an amateur artist in my youth, aspiring to become a professional. Life took me down a different path into the corporate world, where I’ve spent over two decades leading financial operations, building organizational structures, and designing strategic frameworks. Strangely enough, those systems often feel like artwork—balancing form, function, and flow. During COVID, my wife encouraged me to attend a socially distant outdoor painting class. That moment reignited a creative spark, and after a 20-year artist block, I returned to oil painting with a fresh perspective. I now paint daily, finding peace in the process and joy in exploring new mediums. Whether I’m painting layered landscapes or designing data dashboards, I approach both with the same mindset: clarity, composition, and emotional resonance. My creative discipline enhances my work in Power BI, AI-driven decision systems, and executive storytelling—where visual intuition meets strategic insight. I hope you enjoy the pieces in this portfolio. Each one reflects a journey, personal, professional, and artistic.
