Born into this world from a small-town man in love with a Hollywood woman, I had no idea the challenges and triumphs I was about to face. After my parent's separation my sister plunged into auto immune disorder, and it almost took her life. My mother chose performing on the streets and my father dug his heals in for work, and a stable home a city away. During this time, I walked into high school as a freshman. Those doors couldn’t have been any heavier. I found friends, pushed limits, found drugs, didn’t graduate. After a good run of being young and pushing limits, I moved on to the Casper, Wyoming to take care of my aging grandmother.
Away from the booze, drugs, friends and blessed with a stable home, I changed. I found martial arts, school and a stable life. I excelled, got myself two associates and on to the University of Wyoming. There, I majored in Fine Arts with a focus on painting and drawing. What really happened was I ended up on my own again and wasn’t ready to grow up. I had no idea, but I was holding on to intense pain and fear. Built a whole life carrying all this and never realized I was a picture-perfect addict. Took me quite some time but eventually everything I had worked for I had burned it all down. I hadn’t faced my past and forgiven myself for my actions. I have come a long way since then. I met a woman who has dragged me kicking and screaming into adulthood. Since then, my whole life has changed, and I am currently working on this website dedicated to my passion which is ART that tells the artist's story. This ART and website are a documentary of my mental and emotional journey through addiction, sobriety, and the mental and emotional states I face in my life. My art will always be a reflection of me. I hope you all Enjoy it.
