Originally from Jackson, MO, I've lived in the city of St. Louis for 18 years. For the last 10 years my
paintings have focused exclusively on the musicians, artists and buildings that make St. Louis unique.
Collections of my work are on permanent display at The Old Rock House, The Royale Food & Spirits and
KDHX's Magnolia Cafe. Gallery associations include Fort Gondo Compound for the Arts and Hoffman
LaChance Contemporary.
