“The One That Got Away” 🎣

Spent last weekend fishing a creek up in Somerset chasing golden trout. Saw a few beauties but they wanted absolutely nothing to do with me… I threw the whole tackle box at them. 😂

This painting is a reminder that sometimes the chase is the reward. Fishing, art, life… not every cast lands, not every idea sticks, and not every opportunity works out. But the thrill of the hunt keeps you coming back.

Acrylic, spray paint, collage, and obsession. 🎨

2026 is already off to an incredible start in the studio.

Lately I’ve felt more locked in than ever, and honestly I think I’m producing some of the best work of my life right now. New ideas keep flowing and the momentum has been unreal.At the rate I’m going I’m averaging about one painting a week, even while juggling my own art career, lining up gigs for the upcoming mural season, having curated my first month long group exhibition, raising my kiddos, teaching high school art, and being right in the thick of coaching the boys tennis season.

Grateful for everyone who has been supporting, collecting, and following along on this journey. A lot more coming soon.

The year is just getting started. 🎨♥️
