#art collective
When I first started college, I wanted to be an artist so bad.
I stayed up late one night, working on an art project to have my design professor literally tear it in half during my presentation…
The class voted for my drawing to win an award but the drawing instructor decided she could overrule that and chose another piece of art…
One day before my art class, my design professor suggested I change my major because “I didn’t have a future in art”…
So I dropped out and started my own art business, now I AM AN FULL TIME ARTIST, my art lives in private galleries all across the US. I also have a full time job as a CREATIVE with one of the largest tech companies in the world.
TL;DR. The moral of the story is don’t let some crusty old people shape your life.

Opening tonight at Corey Helford Gallery in LA is the group exhibition, “Sensory Overload” (Jan. 21st - Feb 18th) ! Below is my piece for the show:
“Sweet Damnation”, 2016, Ballpoint Pen, Ink Pencils, Ink Wash, Graphite, Colored Pencil and Gel Pen on Mixed Media Paper, 16 inches by 24 inches (20 inches by 28 inches framed)
For the show, “Sensory Overload”, I decided to create a piece inspired by religious, medieval, Christian imagery with exclusively “American Midwestern” flora and fauna. Titled “Sweet Damnation”, my artwork tackles the theme of sensory overload with the moth, a pine devil silkworm moth, becoming completely overwhelmed by its interaction with the snake in the artwork. The moth is receiving an enlightening kiss by Satan, represented as a divine, winged black rat snake who is entwining an american persimmon tree. The poor little pine devil is being completely overpowered by the otherworldly touch of the snake’s tongue. Missouri is my personal Garden of Eden and I wanted to represent that with this piece, as well as have a little fun with common religious imagery.

“My wallpaper and design career has definitely informed my art. I designed in just about every style in respect to interiors and pattern design, so I feel that I have the experience and knowledge to move in many directions. I enjoy now that there is an absence of a set of requirements for my projects. But the very same elements are at play. I am free to use my own innovation with no justification, to explore that balance between representation and design.”
