I am an 11-year-old triplet who loves Anime, reading My Hero Academia, and am teaching myself how to speak Japanese. I have been sketching, sculpting, and painting ever since I remember. My favorite thing about being an artist is the ability to express myself while doing and sharing what I love most! Jinsei wa subarashī.

I do realistic drawings and paintings of animals, landscapes and people using a variety of media including oils, acrylic, pencil and scratchboard. I also create paintings using a grid style where each square is a small abstract painting. When viewed from a few feet back it forms a more realistic image.

I work with the very soul of the Earth: ocher rich stone, naturally pigmented clay, and charred bone. My muse is a savage one, and she forces me to see the duality – the beauty of Nature while acknowledging the brutality. My offering is an opportunity for an intimate communion with the most ancient of life records. All of the colors in my paintings are derived from pigments sourced on or around our land in Madison county of northwest Arkansas, and processed into watercolor paints by hand. It is my passion to showcase the beautiful colors that express the Soul of the Ozarks.

I’m a photographer of nature, street scenes and people, with much of my work coming from hikes and strolls right around here in northwest Arkansas. I try to find new or strange images in familiar places, show the beauty around us and explore the relationship between us humans and our natural surroundings.

It’s complicated speaks volumes about relationships during the past year. Relationships strained through strands of a deadly virus. Will we survive, yes. We come out stronger and more colorful pruned by the difficult experiences that brought us together in a complicated global environment.
