About

 

I’m a city kid, born in New York but I’ve been living in Dallas, TX…

…since 1989. I initially wanted to be a comic book artist but after having a spiritual transformation at the age of 19, I eventually meshed my illustration skills with traditional painting capabilities and I became an expressionist. Telling an intriguing story that would challenge the mind and touch the heart of viewers became my goal as an artist.

 

In 2006 I was invited by a friend to partner in creating a non-profit…

…organization that had a focus on developing and encouraging artists of every medium. That venture was ArtLoveMagic and it became successful and popular within the Dallas area. I eventually developed the largest production within the organization which was called Underground. Underground at its height had about 50 varied visual artists creating live, 2 stages delivering back-to-back talent that showcased musical talent from every genre and spoken word artists, a VIP room, creative displays and collaborations, and it brought in close to 2,000 people in attendance to the event within a 4 hour period. It also generated the largest profit for the organization. It became an annual event that many people sought to be a part of. It was amazing!

 

Eventually I had to step out of artlovemagic…

…in 2013, but before that point I did get the opportunity to become a speed painter, delivering a 4 foot wide by 8 foot tall painting of Christ on the cross in 2 minutes and 55 seconds at the Potter’s House. This achievement allowed me to go on a short tour delivering similar presentations as well as performing in front of Operah Winfrey.

A couple of years after that I painted live at TEDx SMU in dallas…

…with several spoken word artists within DaVerse Lounge. That event really solidified my enjoyment in collaborating with artists of any medium.

 

Since those days I have created a few murals…

…and have helped produce and design a collection of artistic events.

 

In most recent years I have been contracting with various consulting…

firms including PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) , Capgemini, and the Difference as a scribe and a knowledge worker, creatively capturing business communication live within collaborative sessions. In addition I do graphic design work and some video production.

 

I have also been a producer at Journeyman Ink,…

…helping them translate their face-to-face work into video/virtual presentations. I continue to use multiple artistic skills to help creatively solve business needs and communicate spiritual narratives to the world.
