I paint on the ground I live on.

Red clay, raw pigment and oil, out of a studio in Asheville, North Carolina. Paintings, murals and prints, made by hand and shown here first.

Available works

In the studio right now.

Two pieces from the current group. If one of them is the one, write to me and I'll send the dimensions, the materials and what it takes to get it onto your wall.

Commissions

Tell me about the wall.

A commission starts with the room, not the painting. Tell me the wall, the light it gets, how you use the space and what you want it to feel like. I'll come back with a drawing and a plan before anything gets painted.

  • Murals, inside and out
  • Paintings made to the size of a room
  • Drawings and a plan before anything gets painted

Start here — tell me about the wall and I'll write back.

A first note is just a conversation — no obligation.

Limited-edition prints

Small prints, on heavy paper.

Short runs made in the studio from paintings in the current group, printed on heavy stock and kept flat until they're spoken for.

The studio

What leaves this room.

Five ways the work goes out into the world — from a finished painting to a wall that isn't built yet.

Let's put something on your wall.
