I became an artist because I have always been an artist.

After all, art is the companion to life.

It’s been a steadfast and loving companion.

Through my work I continue to explore my capacity to soften myself to a hard world. 8th Mountain is the cumulation of that life long journey.

Traditional Values only extend as far as the tradition, you wont find that here.

The American dream wasn’t about the material items I possessed, it was about living the life I wanted.

I wanted to create art. I am privileged to do so.

I am so unbelievably grateful for this life, and only hope to express this through my work. All of my pieces are in service to that gratitude. I hope you enjoy.

I am thankful for your interest in these wild times.

Can’t kill love,
