creative skill and imagination producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. And that’s what I do. But more importantly I share the process of this production with others not so confident in this field. Art for a long time has been considered a luxury but studies show over time that in order for communities, cities, and economies to thrive art must be present.

Kings and Queens, Chiefs and figures of higher power (if successful) are usually adorned with very specific and intricate symbols. Jewels, beautiful beadwork, tailored uniforms and bold markings. This is no accident. Art shows a presence of abundance and therefore often related to luxury and not necessity. This abundance when present however, leads to stronger generations and overall healthier, confident contributing members to society. In hard times, art is often put on the back burner while basic needs of survival must be met. No one is thriving in these times; surplus isn’t present and neither is the time to create primarily for beauty or emotional power. Society is failing.

So what’s all this gibberish mean? It means you are deserving of art and it is a necessity to express yourself to prosper. And that’s where I come in! As an artist my goal is to encourage creative thinking; creative thinkers manifest stronger communities. Let’s get to know each other and create some abundance with in our homes, communities and cities.

A little more about me?

Often, days are spent consuming too much coffee and spreading the love of creativity. I create for those looking to obtain an atmosphere in their home, their business, show their love for someone, create family heirlooms, capture memories or to simply show appreciation for themselves. We are all capable and deserving of expression. I'm just here to help with the process! I open up my commissions periodically, paint murals, run an online shop, and instruct clay workshops. Soon, you'll be able to paint along with me through YouTube. Feel encouraged to check out my Instagram. My newest services include live event painting & guest fashion portraits!

Florida's Treasure Coast has always been home to me. Spending long hot days on the water or in the swampy woods, is easy come. Scouting, conserving, and enjoying Florida’s biodiversity influences a lot of my creative work. Any other spare minute is spent with my family, life partner in crime Austin, my Tuxedo Mix Kitty Sushi and my Pup Sage - (we don’t know what the hell she is).

It is neat to know I come from generations of artists. My Great Grandpa, Herbert Neuburger was a watercolorist who immigrated to Fort Pierce from Germany. He befriended Beanie Backus and framed a majority of Beanie’s preeminent work. Herb’s original painting is seen in the photo to left and always hung above our families dining room table. Beanie is recognized internationally as a Florida landscape artist and its said he greatly influenced the work of Alfred Hair. Alfred Hair is one of the original Highwaymen. Also referred to as the Florida Highwaymen, this group consisted of 26 African American landscape painters in Florida.

Future generations such as my Mother remained in Fort Pierce; it’s where my mom grew up. My mother later raised her four children in White City. Including myself, two eldest sisters (who are also artists) and my younger brother.

I currently reside in Vero Beach. I study acrylic and gouache mediums in free time, as well as experiment with the wonders of clay. I’ve been painting as long as I can remember and working with clay since 2014. Teaching and painting professionally since 2017. I created my first mural in 2018.
