Intuitive textures, spontaneous movements

Building moments within moments

My work captures specific moments in time, built on a heavy mix of rich acrylics and raw oil stick lines. Every single canvas is a massive world of details—so complex that when it is broken down, every hidden micro-inch yields an entirely unique new composition.

Hey You Mail Club

I’ve always been someone who collects physical mementos from the places and things that inspire me—a scrap of paper, a unique texture, a tiny remnant of a specific day. I keep them because they ground a fleeting memory into something tangible you can actually hold.

That is exactly why I’m starting the Hey You Quarterly Mail Club.

Art matters because it is a shared human connection, but too often, fine art feels like it belongs behind clean gallery walls. I want to build a direct bridge from my studio table straight to your hands. Instead of only releasing large, singular paintings, this upcoming club is my way of breaking those big worlds down into smaller, intimate pieces.

Every quarter, I will be translating the textures and colors of my larger canvases onto premium, heavy cardstock stationery, and sharing actual, raw scraps of painted canvas cut straight from my studio table. It turns abstract art into something physical, accessible, and deeply personal—pieces you can keep for yourself or write on and share with the people around you.

It’s a simple way to pass along those "moments within moments" and build a real community around the work, one mailbox at a time.
