About Me

I was born in San Diego California in 1997 and at the age of three, I moved to upstate New York, where I live to this day.Drawing and painting and meditation have always been among my highest priorities. I am and always have been a junkie for spiritual truth. This remains the driving force behind all of what I do. Childhood was spent filling sketchbooks, daydreaming and closely observing nature. As a teenager I took an interest in psychedelics, lucid dreaming and meditation, all the while expressing my findings through pencils and paint brushes.

I attended a few semesters at the Maryland Institute College of Art which opened up the doorway to eventually landing at the Vienna Academy of Visionary Art (VAVA) for 5 years in Vienna, Austria. Throughout this time period I became completely immersed in both the long standing traditional art which defines Vienna and a dynamic roster of Visionary Artist teachers at VAVA. Eventually becoming an essential member of the VAVA team as the studio monitor and figure drawing instructor. Outside of VAVA, I took an interest in the Kriya Jyoti Tantric Yoga lineage and the Cobra Breath technique. Long story short, this technique brought on spiritual transformation in a more expansive and down to earth way than anything I’d ever come across. It turned me from a spiritual seeker into a spiritual finder and remains a core aspect of my life as an artisan and individual.

Currently I live a simple life in Bloomfield, NY alongside my beloved, Alexandra Wendt and our cat, Rowley and our soon to be here first born baby girl.

My time is spent, painting, meditating and teaching both art and Kriya Yoga.
