This work came from a period I call my paint slinging era. I wasn’t brushing—I was throwing. Pouring. Slinging paint until it felt right. Each piece is layered with over 30 different paints, building heavy textures and raw movement. Some sections are so thick with paint they almost sculpt themselves—evidence of how physical the process was.
Bayou Brass was painted live at Moore Square Park in downtown Raleigh during Jazz in the Park, but it’s rooted in New Orleans. That city’s music, color, and chaos were in my head the whole time. The painting moves like a brass band—wild, loud, full of rhythm and life. It’s jazz you can see.
This was not just painted—it was performed.

Originally, this was a wolf I painted in the middle of a graveyard during a creative meetup in 2022. My friend Kathleen Nolis hosted a wild, artistic day full of dancers, models, and painters—it was a vibe. Over time, it became part of my “paint slinging” series. Now, there’s something else in it… a spirit watching, steady and aware, underneath all the chaos. It’s a reminder that even in wild environments, something greater is always observing.

I painted this when I was deep in a season of spiritual searching. I didn’t have a plan—just questions. Looking back, the piece makes perfect sense. The red-hot galaxy represents Satan—resistance, distraction, friction. The cool blues represent God—peace, clarity, alignment. The Latin root for “Satan” means “the resistor.” This whole painting is about that moment when two opposing forces collide—and you have to choose which one you’ll move with. Every moment, we’re on a collision course. The choice is ours.

Basquiat is a tribute to a creative force who broke rules and built his own language. His work was loud, layered, and honest—just like this piece. Fun fact: Before his rise to fame, he signed his early graffiti as “SAMO,” short for “same old shit,” leaving poetic phrases around New York that sparked an entire art movement.

An octopus drifts through a current of turquoise, teal, and gold—its curling arms moving with quiet precision. Light dances across its skin like the shifting tides, revealing a creature that is as mysterious as it is intelligent. This piece is a portrait of adaptability, instinct, and the unseen depths that shape the ocean’s life.

Part of the paint slinging series, this piece captures the wild intelligence of water—how it crashes, collects, and carries everything it’s touched. Swirls of navy, turquoise, and frost white collide in layered motion, like the tide stirring up secrets it was never meant to hold.
Paint was thrown, not placed—letting gravity, instinct, and flow dictate the final composition. It’s chaos with a memory. A flood of feeling. A wave that doesn’t just hit—it remembers.
This is what happens when nature speaks in color.

“Red, White, and Turbulence” is my expression of the Statue of Liberty caught in the middle of modern chaos. I pushed the colors, shadows, and movement so she feels both iconic and human—standing tall while the world swirls around her. The acrylic and latex layers let me build real emotion into the piece, giving her presence, weight, and a quiet strength that cuts through all the noise.
This is liberty not as a symbol on a postcard, but as a living idea—tested, challenged, and still standing.
