Feature Wall of the Madeley Gallery
During the month of November, ten brand new artworks of mine are on view and for sale at the Madeley Gallery of the Conroe Art League in Conroe, TX. This series, “Movement Over Calm,” is one that captures my fascination with athletic disposition over a base of calm centeredness. Two keys to my sanity are… Continue reading Feature Wall of the Madeley Gallery
Let Go
Let. Go. They are just two, simple words. And yet the action they call for still seems impossible. From the moment I wake each day my mind races with all of the things — the menial, the necessary, the dire, the clutter — and the anxiety associated with each one compounds into the next one… Continue reading Let Go
I’ll Be Happy When…
A familiar quote landed on my radar again this week reminding me to get my shit together. It’s one I’ve read many times and one I try to implement as often as possible. Yet it still seems to escape me. It’s Sam Harris‘: “You can’t wait to solve all your problems to be happy.” You… Continue reading I’ll Be Happy When…
Behind “Help”
“Asking for help is not giving up. Asking for help is refusing to give up.” — The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse The subjects of my art tend to revolve around health, fitness, movement and mindfulness. For me, these things take up the most neurological real estate, so that’s what my pictures… Continue reading Behind “Help”

For some, the term neurographic art is just a fancy way of saying “doodling”, or free form stream-of-consciousness drawing. But for me the specific term… Continue reading Neurographic Art
Nature Is My Reset
You’ve been there. We all have. Stuck on a problem. Can’t make something work. Frustrated beyond belief. Instead of banging your head against the wall hoping things will change, be kind to yourself. Take a step outside into nature. Allow your mind to reset. I once read that Albert Einstein was a habitual walker and… Continue reading Nature Is My Reset
The Struggle for Now
You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today And then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun” -Pink Floyd, Time Recently I was reminded that I can’t wait to solve all my problems to… Continue reading The Struggle for Now
Good Problem to Have
My idea bank — the place in my brain I set aside for future art projects that have the potential to be really cool — has become the cereal aisle. Too. Many. CHOICES. Good problem to have. It’s always better to have an excess of good ideas as opposed to having none! Of course, this… Continue reading Good Problem to Have
My Inner Voice Is A Dick
You suck. You’re a loser. I hate you. These are just some of the frequent messages I hear from the voice inside my head. Sometimes this voice becomes so incessant and so grinding that the pronouns switch and before I know it I’m repeating: I suck. I’m a loser. I hate myself. My point in… Continue reading My Inner Voice Is A Dick
