Pool Balls in Space

December 2022

This piece was commissioned by Peter Brown for Racks Billiards and Bar in Vernon, CT (It is displayed there if you’d like to see it in person) This was my first ever commissioned artwork. This was such a fun project to complete. There are a couple of little hidden images in this one, see if you can find them!

CT Transit in Space

April 2023

This painting was created for CT Transit. It is displayed in the office of the general manager.

I really enjoyed creating this piece, it was interesting to incorporate human elements like the buses into a space theme. This took over 40 hours to finish.

RAD

24″x36″

This piece was commissioned for Mary Wolfe (my mom). Featuring the bus route she took as a kid, and her RAD Electric Bicycle. This piece is displayed in her office at CT Transit. 

The colors were inspired by CT Transit Fastrack and regular buses. The sides of the painting are painted lime green and dark blue to make it pop.

Billiards Octopus Mural 2025

I had such a fun time creating this home mural for my clients Megan and Cole. They requested an octopus holding pool balls to go in their ocean themes basement pool room. I used Contour on a Meta quest VR to draw the outline onto the wall. This painting was done in acrylic and took about 3 working days.

“In chaos, We dance”

Acrylic and mixed media on 24”x36” stretched canvas

This project was a long one and one that became very meaningful to me. It’s hard to let this one go! I was tasked with creating a painting from listening to a few selected tango songs.
Tango is a Latin dance, originating from Argentina and other Latin countries. Tango is about connection. It’s a passionate show of emotion connecting two partners.
Traditional dances can be found all over the world in many different forms. Dancing is a way to connect, celebrate, mourn and protest. Dance has historically been used in resistance, such as at protests. It has deep cultural significance. Dancing in spite of everything bad going on around us is so powerful. While creating this piece it was hard to not think about how it connects to our world today. It was difficult making an art piece centered around a Spanish dance while our government is targeting these minorities.
ICE is kidnapping people off the streets, detaining American citizens, racially profiling their targets and terrorizing our cities. It is more important now than ever to resist, to DANCE.
This painting has become centered around dancing in chaos. Dancing in spite of the country collapsing around us. 
In my research into Tango I came across this quote that stuck with me. “Nadie te quita lo bailado “ Meaning: No one can take from you what you’ve already danced. 

“Emerald Drift”

One of the best things about being an artist is being able to share your art. This was my first time doing an “Art Swap.” I made this painting for a client and in return had dresser repainted. The prompts for this project was greens and blues, gold, and a tiny batman symbol hidden somewhere.
