ABOUT THE ARTIST (MAGICAL • MYTHICAL • RESILIENT)

I’m an emerging artist from South East Idaho, shaped by a life that didn’t start easy and didn’t follow the usual script. I grew up with labels placed on me by systems and circumstances I didn’t choose — the kind of labels that make you feel like you’re on the outside looking in. Some people call that being a “war leftover.” I call it being a survivor with a story.

My art comes from that place — the space between what the world tried to make me and who I decided to become. I create characters who rise from chaos, who turn trash into treasure, who find destiny in the places most people overlook. My work blends humor, myth, corporate polish, and underdog magic into a world where transformation is always possible.

If you’re here early, you’re not just collecting art.
You’re collecting the beginning of a comeback story.

ARTIST JOURNEY — STILL LEARNING, STILL GROWING

I’m actively building my skills and exploring formal training paths to sharpen my craft. I’m currently looking into programs at:

• Bridgerland Technical College (Logan) — digital design foundations
• Las Vegas creative programs — animation, illustration, and character development
• College of Eastern Idaho (CEI) — visual arts and digital media
• CalArts — the dream destination for animation and world‑building

I’m learning, experimenting, and leveling up with every piece.
