I have studied symbolic geometry with Adam Williamson, David Heskin, Aloria Weaver, Adam Tutlow, John Martineau.
I have since continued my geometric studies with online courses with Richard Henry.
My research and studies also have continued with Aloria Weaver, and David Heskin’s “Advanced Oil Painting Portraiture” online courses. These have been truly indispensable to fostering my technical skills.
Personal History
I began painting around 16, though it was a rekindled relationship from my childhood that never truly faded. The relationship was catalyzed from encounters with entheogens which greatly effected the trajectory of my life and interests.
I soon realized the power of the “ Third-Eye” and humans ability to ‘see’ in a completely different sense. From these conceptual beginnings a new interest soon was fostered which emphasized the craftsmanship of art, and of a respectful journey of ascension in order to help ourselves, each other, and all of life.

I painted this image, as my first ever painting when I was 16 after a spontaneous spiritual awakening. This awakening of our indistinct inner and outer relatedness has ever continued since to further fathoms of realizing our relationship to everything.
