Big Moves, Bold Art & A Brand New Era
Art, Adventure & A Podcast You Didn’t Know You Needed
If you know me, you know stillness isn’t my thing. Between painting, designing, painting for Mayor of Kingstown, launching new collections, and saying “yes” to every creative whirlwind that comes my way—I’ve realized it’s time to level up.
✨ A podcast? It’s happening.
🎨 New art? Just uploaded.
🛍️ Functional art? You can wear it now.
🔥 Gold leaf? I’m diving in.
🚀 Big exhibitions? Mark your calendar.
And—drumroll—I got my trademark. This is just the beginning of something bigger, and I want you to be part of it.
The Ruins, The Road & The Stories We Tell Ourselves
I think about this a lot—the stories we tell ourselves, the meaning we assign to the unexpected, and the choice we have in every moment to believe that things are either falling apart or falling into place.
Last year, I found myself standing in the middle of an abandoned coal mine deep in the woods of Pennsylvania, surrounded by fragments of stone, dust, and history. But instead of seeing ruin, I saw transformation.
This wasn’t just any coal mine—it was The Ruins Project, a living mosaic built piece by piece by artists from around the world, curated by the visionary Rachel Sager. Where others saw decay, she saw a canvas. Where others saw the past, she built a future. And it hit me—this is creativity in its purest form.
We get to decide what a thing means. We get to decide whether we are breaking down or breaking through.
Life is the same way. Art is the same way.
We can see obstacles or opportunities. We can cling to what’s crumbling or start laying down pieces of something new. We can believe that everything is working against us… or working in our favor.
Being at The Ruins made me want to create more fearlessly. It made me want to lean deeper into the unknown, to trust that whatever falls apart in my life is just making space for something greater.
And I want to bring that energy into everything I create.

My Studio is Leading the Way—And You’re Invited
The past few weeks have been a wild balance of television production, creative work, and big shifts in my own projects. And somewhere in the middle of all that, I decided I would do something bigger that I am afraid to do.
🚀 In March, I’m launching my own podcast! It’s been a long time coming, and I can’t wait to dive into conversations about creativity, intuition, and navigating life’s journey—whether through travel or right in your own backyard. Stay tuned!
In the meantime, my studio has been on fire. I’ve been uploading new paintings, expanding into functional art, and even bringing gold leafing into my creative process.
🖼️ New paintings.
🛍️ Wearable & functional art.
✨ Gold leafing & layered textures.
Art is no longer just something to look at—now it’s something to live with. This new collection is all about blending creativity with function, making beauty an integral part of your everyday world.
