ABOUT ME
Discover the Artist Behind the Curtain.
Each piece begins with an idea and takes shape through skill, patience, and passion, transforming raw materials into timeless art.
I make large-scale public art the same way I make my own work: from direct observation, in the tradition of figurative realism, pushing timeless questions of experience, memory, place, and what it means to stand in a body in the world.Since 2008 I have delivered monumental paintings and sculptures for cities, universities, architects, and private patrons—on time and built to last. Recent and signature commissions include the murals for the new Huntsville U.S. Courthouse; the twelve bronze reliefs at RSA Centennial Hill in Montgomery honoring the neighborhood’s history and civil-rights legacy; the sixteen bronze panels of Alabama Bicentennial Park at the State Capitol (featured on PBS); the “Points in Time” oil murals in Tuscaloosa’s federal courthouse; the Bronze Bomber statue of Deontay Wilder; the Willie Mays tribute; and the University of Alabama’s Minerva.Classical technique, refined during a Fulbright in Italy, is the tool. The subject is always human. Every figure is an individual seen from life. I am equally interested in history and in the private, unfinished work that happens in the studio—ideas I keep returning to because they still feel urgent.Born in Honolulu in 1979 and based in Tuscaloosa, I accept select public and private commissions.
My Purpose
To craft paintings and sculptures that speak of beauty, emotion, and craftsmanship, bringing imagination to life through dedication, skill, and passion.
Mission
To place observed human figures in civic space so a community can see its history, its living people, and itself in the work.
Vision
To ask, through paint and bronze, what it means to stand in a body—in a place, in memory, and in the public square.
Purpose
To work from direct observation with classical technique—clay to bronze, marble, and oil—refined in Italy and proven on civic commissions.
