Davinci'S Intern

Lucky is a Phoenix-based mixed media artist who seeks to capture the spirit, passion, and pain of life. His mission is to help those that struggle with mental health to have a voice, feel loved and valued for who they are. In a past life, he earned a B.A. in History from Grand Canyon University, but his observations of the world began at a young age.

His art uses the classical techniques of portraiture, landscape and abstract drawing and painting that he learned through an obsession with self-study combined with digital technique and constant experimentation to create a contemporary feel. He's been featured in a number of publications and his work is part of the permanent collection of his mother's fridge.

Lucky has painted commissions for patrons throughout his home state of Arizona and is happy to add Dallas, San Fransico, and Denver to his growing network of collectors.

Though I don't have a formal art education, I have read a literal ton of books and have an obsession with self-learning. The rest is just my own experimentation and artistic alchemy.

As a kid, I enjoyed drawing but I was always disappointed with the hammered garbage I ended up with, so at 10 I quickly accepted Art wasn't my thing and focused on other endeavors. My issue is that I inherited the shakes, a nervous system disorder that presents itself as a constant tremor and can be quite bad at times. Not saying its a disability but most people figure I am on drugs or a raging alcoholic. A couple of years ago, I was looking to relax and pass the time and watched a video on shading and other drawing essentials and at 35 I began a new life as an artist. My lines are still erratic, I go through a lot of erasers and it takes me days to do what others can in hours but I have found something that I truly love.
