The King of Pop Dies at Age 50

At fist I was incredulous, but it is official that Michael Jackson, also known as the King of Pop has died at the age of 50. Although the title "King of Pop" has been disputed by many, especially those who point out that he was the "self-proclaimed King of Pop", he certainly lived a life full of triumph and defeats like many kings throughout history.


As an artist, and by having grown listening to his music, I am inspired by his artistry, but saddened by the tragedies and struggles he endured. As the eternal optimist that I am, I will chose to focus on the great things he did and the inspiration he gave many to proclaim that they can become the best or at least live and die trying.

May he rest in peace.

Why "art with a purpose"?

Many of you at the shows have asked me "Why 'art with a purpose'?" The answer is that I feel that art can be a effective form of communication and inspiration. I feel blessed to have this talent and I want to make sure that I use it in a constructive way. So many things around us are destructive and art doesn't have to be one of them. Through the use of pictorial metaphors, I can share what I have learned in my life with other people. When people look at my art, I want them to be able to identify with the messages in each piece and feel inspired to continue growing and inspiring others. You might ask yourself "then, what's the purpose?" The purpose is to inspire and perpetuate the inspiration cycle. If you have been inspired by any of these paintings, please leave a comment or email me. I would love to hear from you.

Through The Gate

The Beginning of Something Great

Today I embark on a new adventure. I begin sharing with you, my friends, the many experiences that arise out of this exciting life I have chosen. I say "I have chosen", but I have to admit that I really believe that God's hand is in this somehow. I often see how the supposed coincidences of life redirect my path and make my vision that much clearer. I hope that you come along with me in this thrilling adventure and accompany me through what promises to be a remarkable adventure in deed.
