"Field Relic" Painting

Paintings driven by idea, memory, and restraint.
Some abstract. Some symbolic. All intentional.
I create concept-driven paintings that live between abstraction and narrative.

Some works are minimal, others more symbolic—but each begins with an idea rather than a subject.

My work focuses less on representation and more on meaning: responsibility, memory, restraint, humor, and the quiet weight carried by ordinary moments.

Abstraction is often the language I use, not the destination.

Having spent two decades serving in the U.S. Navy, movement, discipline, and lived experience inform how I approach the canvas.

I’m drawn to simplicity, tension, and the space where meaning is implied rather than explained.

I’m not interested in prescribing interpretation.

The work is meant to be lived with, revisited, and understood differently over time.

I live and work near Austin, Texas.

My paintings are held in private and corporate collections.


If you are interested in my work but would love a private commissioned piece to own, with different colors, size, subject, etc... please feel free to contact me here and put Commission in the subject line.

I am easy to work with and guarantee satisfaction!
