His subjects personify the transcendence of perceived limitations, igniting the spark of aspiration within us. They are the embodiments of perseverance, urging us to surpass our conceived boundaries, to seek our full potential, and to embrace our fallibilities with compassion.

Andrea & Keith
Andrea & Keith was painted from an image captured at Garden of the Gods in Colorado.
To intentionally create tension between the couple, the artist secretly instructed the groom to remain standing with his hands in his pockets even after the shoot began. The bride eventually took matters into her own hands, throwing her free arm around his neck & kissing him, creating a unique portrait.
The painting shows the artist's range, as it offers both portrait & landscape work.
