Without you, Mpulse Studio wouldn’t be much… it would basically be me and a room overflowing with art and creative ideas scribbled all over the walls. But I don’t even think it would be that much because it’s your connection with me and my work that allows me to continue to be able to create and, hopefully, inspire others to follow passion and inspiration.

Imagine a day out in the Caribbean, sailing along the crystal clear turquoise waters, maybe sipping on a rum punch as the island breeze whips through your hair, and looking up at the bright blue sky and taking note of billowing sail, pushing your vessel forward through the following wind.

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. Hidden in the shade of the coconut palms, woven through the tangled mangrove branches, glistening in the seawater shimmer, the island possesses an energy that I’m blessed to connect with.

I started writing ‘Sketches from the Heart of a Texas Artist’ after I lost my dream job to paint a 140 foot mural on the side of a prominent hotel, after to a sexual harassment scandal broke me down to the point that I couldn’t take it anymore. I wrote a novel to navigate through the pain.

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.

Often, my art illustrates the landscape of Texas, the Gulf, and the Caribbean, but when an amazing client asked me to illustrate a collective of African images, I fell in love with the process.
