Every week I attend the Princeville Farmers and Arts Market on Saturday mornings. It’s always a pleasure to meet people interested in my work so please come introduce yourself! I also regularly attend monthly shows including the Princeville Night Market and The Beach House Craft Fair in Poipu. I love these shows in particular because they feature everything: great food, live music and variety of locally grown and handmade goodies.
Currently my work is on display in several establishments across the island. Original paintings in watercolor and oils are for sale at Wyland Gallery in Kilauea. Fish Eye Kauai carry my illustrations at both of their locations in Princeville and old Koloa’a town. Both the illustrations and original works can also be found on display in Blu-Ümi, the contemporary retailer alongside Hanapepe town’s delicious restaurant Japanese Grandma’s, and their sister business, The Banana Patch Studio.
Inspired by endless natural beauty on Kauai, I create paintings in oil, watercolor, acrylic and gouache. The drama of Kauai’s majestic landscape, the whimsy of everyday life, and the charming wildlife of The Garden Island are regular features of my work. I studied at the University of Georgia and The Art Students League of New York City. I live with my wife, Hayley, and our son, Mylo. I surf poorly and throw a frisbee really well. Aloha, and I’ll see you on the beach!
I love representational painting and its evolution through art history fascinates me. Additionally, ten years in New York City inspired a love of non objective, or abstract, art making and conceptual work. My art is a celebration of these disparate influences. I make paintings rooted in representation and enlivened by painterly techniques which balance whimsical exploration, honest description and expressive gesture.
If you would like to see more of my work and stay up to date on new releases please follow my work on Instagram. Mahalo nui loa!
