“Salute” and Second Sundays
This weekend kicks off the “Salute” exhibition at the Ardest Gallery which will feature artworks by veterans as well as art dedicated to honoring their service. The Ardest Gallery, run by Julie Verville, represents Houston’s top 2D and 3D visual artists and is nestled in the Bella Bottega’s working artist community, just North of Houston… Continue reading “Salute” and Second Sundays
You See, But Do You Really See
One benefit to practicing in the visual arts is that it allows for becoming a keen observer. The moment I was able to connect all that I see with the idea of shapes — and that every single thing we see is made of shapes — was the moment I knew limitations are only bound… Continue reading You See, But Do You Really See
Sober October
I first heard of “Sober October” many years ago while listening to the Joe Rogan Experience. It was something Joe and his friends did once a year where they abstained from drugs and alcohol for an entire month while also making it a requirement to work out every day.

While a handful of my clients… Continue reading There Is No Ice Cream
Serendipity
Besides being a fun word to say and the title of my favorite John Cusack film, serendipity is one of those real life things that can put a long smile on my face. I’ve documented here that the last two and a half years have been extremely challenging, forcing me to look deeply inward to… Continue reading Serendipity
Just Get Past the Adolescent Stage
Get past the middle stages of your artworks by having faith in the steps and know that if you just follow the plan all will end well.
Black and White
Most of my artistic tastes and habits were formed during my youth. I’ve written about my introduction to Dali and surrealism and how that affected my style. When it comes to color palettes, though I do play with color in my works, my heart always returns to the simple, austere boldness of black and white.
