Pirate:Contemporary Art

"Art is never finished, only abandoned.” Leonardo Da Vinci

The Artist:
Since my earliest days, I've harbored an innate desire to create. When words failed me, art emerged as my primary mode of self-expression. Despite earning a degree in graphic design from Colorado State University, my genuine passion lies in painting. Shortly after college, I seamlessly transitioned into mural work, providing a platform for my artistic pursuits. While this
allowed me to cultivate my career, there lingered a deep yearning within me for authentic, soulful expression—a necessity as fundamental as water is to a fish.  My art is drawn to vibrant colors, striking contrasts, and captivating textures. My creative spectrum spans various styles, initially focusing on the delicate nature of flowers. Enchanted by their colors, shapes, and the unfolding contrast of their petals, I explored this theme. Growing up in Colorado, the awe-inspiring sunrises and sunsets, framed by the Rocky Mountains or city lights, consistently fueled my inspiration. Painting flowers and landscapes became my outlet for perfectionism, immortalizing moments and my experiences beneath the ever-changing sky. While graphic design influences my pop art—a playful and clever style where content pieces together like a puzzle, often carrying profound symbolism—I resist the confinement of a single style. My abstract side offers an untethered expression, a release from perfectionism, and a constant evolution with a diverse range of media. This experimental style breathes life into ordinary items, transforming them into
extraordinary expressions of interest and beauty. Refusing to be pigeonholed, I cherish the freedom to explore and defy artistic expectations across various forms of expression.​
