Born and raised in Florida, I’m a fifth-generation Floridian with salt, spring and river water in my veins and a paintbrush in hand. From the oak hammocks to broken shells on the beach and the ever-changing tides, this state has shaped my soul and my art. I began my creative journey studying art, learning the fundamentals from professors who helped my find my style. But my curiosity led me deeper—into the stories behind the land I love—so I earned my degree in history from the University of Florida, blending visual expression with cultural roots.

Today, I specialize in acrylic painting on canvas, crafting vibrant, joy-filled pieces that celebrate the beauty of Florida life. My style is bold, bright, and unapologetically hopeful—each brushstroke a prayer of gratitude to God for the gift of creativity. Whether it’s a pelican mid-flight, a tide rolling in, or a splash of citrus sunshine, my work is a love letter to nature, renewal, and the quiet strength found in imperfection.

Through my Tide Rider brand, I hope to connect with kindred spirits—art lovers, nonconformists, and soulful truth seekers—who find healing in humor, faith, and natural Florida's charm. My mission is simple: to create art that lifts hearts, sparks joy, and reminds us that even in the mess, beauty abounds.
