Things I know for sure and lessons I’ve learned along the way.

Are you torn between the pursuit of money and following your passion? I was too and I’ll share my personal experience and what I have learned along the way. I’ll share my story to a creative life and the parallels I have found between creating great art and creating your best life.

I’m an oil painter in Colorado, USA and I make videos about life as an artist, the creative process, #painting, #art materials, and making a living from your art.
