Meet the Artist

My work explores the space between stillness and motion. I build dimensional wall pieces from layered acrylic and carve freestanding sculptures by hand, forms that can be cast in bronze or stainless steel. Across both, I'm interested in what happens when a shape appears caught mid-movement, when something rigid impossibly twists or flows, and in how dimensionality invites a longer look from every angle.

I grew up on the Atlantic Coast, surfing and living close to the water. In some ways, I think the ocean is still moving through everything I make. But my influences run wider than the coast. Physics, nature, science, travel, history, storytelling and gestalt all find their way into the work.

I trained early on as a designer/artist and spent my formative years in Los Angeles working alongside Imagineers, architects, artists and storytellers. From there I traveled across North America, Europe and Japan before landing in Austin, Texas, where I built a studio and spent several years incubating work full time. That period opened me to a broad way of thinking about materials and processes and gave me the space to develop a body of work.

My studio produces work at any scale, from a single piece for a private collection to a series for a commercial or public space. A background in design means I collaborate easily with architectural firms, interior designers and collectors.

If something here stops you, please say hello.
