YOU ARE HEALTHY, YOU ARE HAPPY, YOU ARE HOLYI'm a live performance and graphic artist that works with different bands in the live, experimental, electronic and jamband scenes. I try to channel through painting...to be a conduit for the Universal voice when at all possible. I dance on canvas. I collaborate with musicians to make interactive experiences with audiences and am always amazed what comes through the tube. My art connects me to people and to the Spirit in a way that's transcendental. Synchronicities often occur, happy "accidents", full circle occurrences...it's been an amazing ride so far. I truly believe in the transformative, divine nature of art and music and believe that this is as much of a spiritual journey as an artistic one. It truly connects me to the One the All and the Everything and I hope I can keep sharing these experiences with people for many, many years to come. Please check my blog often for past musings, reviews and current projects and CRB Productions for high quality giclee prints of past live paintings and other graphic artwork.

I am I paint. I live. I love. I write. I counsel. I think words are amazing. I find comfort in long drives and wide open days. I would eat music for sustenance if i could and I'm always looking for new groups to work with. I started this site to network with other artists, bands that want live painting as part of their production, friends, etc. etc...I'm currently the senior counselor at a group home for boys, but I don't feel very senior. I love the kids i work for. They laugh with me sometimes and curse at me at others, but they're good kids and they always, always surprise me. I'd like to be an art therapist one day, in fact. Other than that, I'd eventually like to tour as a live painter and make a living from my art, somehow connecting that with charity or with the kids. I have huge ideas but take small steps and above all, I have faith. go check out William Walter and Company , the band that I'm lucky enough to do lights for. Experimental Appalachian hipabilly laced with jamming that almost beats grandmas frozen preserves. A workingman's songbird with a hammer.
Much love and many blessings to all. Namaste!
