"Octopus: Inky Mind" Painting

I am an artist painting in watercolor and acrylics with my roots in graphic design. I love working with metal leaf and distressing techniques to give an aged, Byzantine quality to new works. I travel extensively, adore spending time with my family, embrace an adventure, and am influenced by the sights and sounds of ancient cities as well as the natural beauty and calm of the coast. I own and operate a graphic design studio, Image Creative Group, and have won a slew of design awards. "Design allows me to breathe, and keeps me very present in the relationships of shape, color, and the psychology of marketing. Painting lets me fall into a rabbit hole, losing my sense of time and place, and promising new discoveries and surprises along the way.”
