I am a self-taught amateur artist from Southern Maine. I’ve been painting on and off since 2010. I used acrylic and just recently (2025) switched to oil paint.

I’ve been on a short hiatus from painting in 2026 while getting a new room/art studio ready but I should be producing new work soon! I have 3 reference photos lined up.

I’m not in any galleries right now. I plan on having a booth at the Alfred/shakerhill festival in the fall where I’ll be selling originals and prints. I have a 15 month old so my time outside of work has been limited lately

I just looked into that and wow, what a cool/alien looking area that album's art came from.
