About / Mission

25 years in the making — now, it's a gallery.

I've spent the last two and a half decades as a fine artist, chasing the same question in every piece: what happens when craft and obsession meet a blank surface? Along the way I built a design and sign-making business to pay for that obsession — and it taught me more about color, scale, and public art than any gallery wall could.

Now the studio is becoming what it was always headed toward: a gallery. A place where that original work — the paintings, the pieces I made because I had to, not because someone ordered them — finally gets the room they deserve. A place for Amarillo's art community to gather, see new work, and meet the people making it.

The design and sign work hasn't gone anywhere. It's still here, still sharp, still available. But this space is about the art first.
