Fill out your e-mail address
to recieve info on upcoming shows and events...

i am a lot of things... but specifically i am a painter. i'm trying to start this thing called the transpire project - which is to bring the making of art into public places. so hopefully this site can be used to network with other artists who need inspiration or who want to join the party... or this site can be used to connect with you better and let you know a little more about me and what's happening. the bottom line about me: i'm a breath of fresh air
..
it's hard to find other live artists or either others who want to do what i'm doing.... but then i realized that bob ross has been doing it for years. but he died and he never passed the torch.... so i'm taking it up, and if i could be so bold, i'm going to be the bob ross for the next generation....

My Interests

i'm interested in anything that brings life, joy, happiness, restoration, hilarity, fullness... the things that i'm most interested in lately are: knowing the ONE to whom i pray, loving my wife more deeply daily, surfing, painting, writing, reading, fighting the ever-engulfing lonliness we are experiencing by building long lasting friendship communities, standing in the gap of broken places and working towards restoration.... and there is always more... but so little space!
