I have been a professional mural painter and artist since 1994 at the age of 14. Since that time I have completed hundreds of murals and thousands of paintings. My mediums range from spray paint, to acrylics using material from “found object” to surplus from my commercial work. I have had a broad range of clients both residential and commercial from Southern California to Northern Washington. From 2001 through 2005 I worked closely with musicians and traveled with bands allowing me to experience art and music in small towns and big cities up and down the west coast. Also having had th opportunity to briefly study art in Mexico City, I have been all consumed by the arts and love to share it with those around me and the community I'm in. Art, painting, and music fill my life like air fills my lungs.
I'm native to the Metro Portland area and have lived in Milwaukie since 2006. Currently I also work as a self employed licensed contractor and a licensed property manager with two Milwaukie based companies both named after my son Orion. Since 2006 I have also been a performing musician as a member of a local rock band.
Milwaukie is a community I fell in love with with in days of becoming a resident. I joined the artMOB to share my love of art and my belief that the world is my canvas with this community as my roots grow in here. Milwaukie has a historic feel which I cherish yet has a modern and progressive motivation about it.
