I am a self-taught painter based in Dallas, TX, with a passion for transforming vintage microphones into vibrant, expressive characters. Through the use of spray paint, acrylics, and sheet music adhered to the canvas, I bring these microphones to life, imbuing each one with its own unique personality and telling stories that explore the profound relationship between music and emotion. 

For me, art and music are inseparable. Growing up, I often dreamed of standing on stage with a microphone in hand, connecting with an audience. While that dream didn't materialize, I found my true calling in painting. Music continues to be a driving force in my creative process, shaping not only the atmosphere in which I work but also the very essence of my pieces. The microphone, especially the vintage ones, has always fascinated me—its role as the bridge between the musician and the audience mirrors the connection I seek to create between my work and those who experience it. I see these microphones as having a human-like presence, and I use that quality to explore themes of communication, influence, and the timeless power of music.
