I received a Bachelors of Fine Art in painting from Western Michigan University in 2003. Eight years later, I completed a Masters of Divinity in theology at Nazarene Theological Seminary in Kansas City.  This rare mix of educations reveals a bit of who I am.  

I think of art as medium for examining and expressing thoughts about inner and outer realities.  For instance, in the inner realm, my abstract work explores that which cannot be seen.  I regularly explore themes of human purpose and meaning, often commenting on daily priorities, fears and motivations that shape our lives.  In my outer, representational work, I strive to capture and celebrate the grandeur and detail of the natural world. 

In all I create, I hope the end result is distinct, expressive and captivating.

Please enjoy the making of "Ocean Over Kansas."  This is a 30-foot long painting I created for the Lawrence Beer Company in Lawrence, KS.
