Hi — it’s nice to meet you.
About Me
I’m a self-taught traditional artist and Music Visual Architect based in Nashville, Tennessee. My primary medium is graphite pencils with hints of painted color. When it’s needed, I incorporate digital enhancements, such as typography, texture, and color integration, while keeping the artwork itself fully hand-drawn.
Music sits at the center of everything I create. My work translates the imagery and emotional landscapes that songs evoke, both lyrically and sonically, into tangible visual worlds. Whether through original fine-art pieces or collaborative projects, my goal is to give sound a physical form.
At its core, my work captures the essence, feeling, and ultimately the journey that music takes the listener on. I draw inspiration from the timeless elegance of the Renaissance, the untamed power of the natural world, and the deeply human experiences that music reflects. These influences intersect, blending realism with a subtle psychedelic edge, grounded in craft and intention.
Alongside my original work, I collaborate closely with musicians and creative teams to develop visual worlds that accompany music releases. My work spans album and single artwork, tour visuals, merchandise, and narrative-driven content, each project created as an extension of the music itself, rather than a standalone image.
Whether creating independently or in collaboration, my focus remains the same: building visual landscapes that honor the depth, emotion, and journey found within music.
My Story
I didn’t grow up knowing this would be my path. I didn’t go to art school, and I don’t come from a traditional fine art background. I’m self-taught, and I found my way here by following curiosity, instinct, and a deep pull toward creating.
My first drawing wasn’t made in a studio, it was made on the floor of my apartment in Tampa, Florida, while I was studying entrepreneurship at the University of Tampa. I didn’t even have a table. I just felt compelled to draw, so I did. That moment set something in motion, and what began as a personal experiment slowly snowballed into a practice, a career, and a life shaped by art.
Music has always been the constant thread running through it all. Songs took me places, emotionally and imaginatively. Drawing became my way of giving those places form. Over time, those inner worlds found their way onto paper, becoming visual interpretations of sound, story, and feeling.
Today, my work lives at the intersection of art, music, and storytelling. My background in business allows me to approach creativity with both intention and structure, bridging the emotional depth of art with the practical realities of collaboration, production, and growth.
This work continues to evolve, just as I do. If you’ve found your way here, I’m grateful you’re part of the journey.
Here’s to the love of music and art.
