My goal was simple, to create a timeless design that was fit for surf shacks, refined like a hand shaped surfboard and adaptable for a variety of shapes and sizes.

One my most recent projects that I am so excited about is my largest painting yet. I had the incredible opportunity to paint a large scale piece for the entrance of a new hotel and restaurant in Point Loma, CA called the Monsaraz and Westerly Public House. The painting is a mosaic of 13 thick gallery-wrapped canvases that stretch out over 16 feet long.
