It's been awhile since I've had an opportunity to get back to Texas to exhibit my work, but I'm continually working on new ways to share it with you.

Untamed, inspired by the road less traveled, where the sea kisses the sand and the wind whispers stories of enchantment.

Maybe I felt insensitive during the most secluded moments of the pandemic, maybe there was too much chaos amidst the silence…

My Nautical Bohemia Collection is all about falling in love with adventure. Whether it’s literal or metaphorical, it’s the journeys that we embark upon in life that make us who we are. Whether it’s taking a trip, going on a long run, making a new friend, entering a romantic relationship, starting a new job… there is always a new adventure waiting for us to embrace.

Painted on old worn catamaran sails, my Nautical Bohemia Collection serves as a metaphor for the journeys that we all go on... these sails that I’m working on are worn and tattered and wrinkled after being beaten up by the sea, then tossed aside and replaced.

When I launched Nautical Bohemia, I knew what narrative I wanted to tell, but I had no idea how significant it would be right now. This work in progress, ‘Evolution of Beauty’, illustrates my thoughts on mortality and the evolution of life, from the lush, vibrant flowers to the remains of our human form.

Whether you arrive in San Pedro, Belize by water taxi, or a single engine Cessna, you’re guaranteed to step into a damp, salty atmosphere where magic lingers at every turn.

Down to the Banana Republics, down to the tropical sun… Every time I gaze upon the banana leaves that shade my San Pablo backyard, the calypso beat and steel drum rhythms that accompany Jimmy Buffett’s twangy tenor vocals, play on repeat, through my mind.

It wouldn't have crossed my mind to illustrate and African inspired watercolor quadryptich, or paint a portrait of Saint Lucy, or to capture the sweet innocence of a jungle-themed nursery, but over the past year, the work that I've been commissioned to paint for my clients has become a hugely important component in my body of work.

I approached the crude structure and pulled aside a piece of madras fabric that had been fashioned into an entrance. Incense smoke twisted and curled through the air in a thick haze. As my eyes adjusted to the dimly lit, smoke filled room, they fixated upon a Nefertiti-esque woman.
I arrived in San Pedro town on Tuesday evening, after a long day of travel. My love was waiting for me at the water taxi station, ready to take me to a private house on a secluded beach front property on the north side of the island. He planned to help a friend with some work on the property while giving me some quiet time to work on my art.

The concept of surrender doesn’t come as innately as my urge to control, so I guess it makes sense that I’ve been at a loss for words. In fact, it’s such a foreign concept to me that the Universe has continued to send me an army of angels to guide me toward living through surrender.
