Buy Original Art in Austin

One of the reasons I've chosen to build my life and studio in Austin is because this city still believes in meeting the people behind the work.

That matters to me.

Original art has always felt more personal than transactional. Long before a painting hangs on a wall, it begins as a conversation, an idea, or a moment of curiosity shared between two people who care about creativity. I think something valuable happens when collectors have the opportunity to meet the artist, ask questions, hear the stories behind the work, and experience the paintings where they were created.

If you're looking to buy original art in Austin, I invite you to begin with The Work. Every available painting was created here in my Austin studio through the same intuitive process that guides everything I make. Each painting exists only once, carrying its own history of observation, revision, texture, and discovery.

I've watched Austin evolve for many years.

Through all of its growth and change, one thing has remained remarkably consistent.

This city continues to value people who make things.

Musicians.

Designers.

Architects.

Filmmakers.

Photographers.

Painters.

That spirit shaped me long before I ever stepped behind a canvas, and it's one of the reasons I've chosen to build my painting practice here today.

Although my paintings aren't illustrations of Austin, they couldn't have been created anywhere else.

The pace.

The people.

The conversations.

The freedom to explore.

All of it quietly finds its way into the work.

Why Austin Matters

Buying original art directly from a local artist offers something that's becoming increasingly rare.

Connection.

You aren't simply discovering a finished painting.

You're discovering where it came from.

The studio.

The process.

The conversations.

The years of experience that eventually found their way onto the canvas.

For me, that's one of the most meaningful parts of collecting original art.

Not simply taking a painting home.

Understanding how it came to exist in the first place.

Buying Directly From the Artist

One of the unexpected rewards of becoming a painter has been meeting the people who eventually choose to live with my work.

Every conversation begins somewhere different.

Some collectors already know exactly which painting has captured their attention.

Others simply know they're ready to begin collecting original art and want to spend time exploring before making a decision.

Both approaches feel exactly right to me.

Finding the right painting has always mattered more to me than selling one.

Collecting original art should never feel rushed.

When you collect directly from my studio, you're beginning a conversation with the person who created the painting. I'm happy to provide additional photographs, close-up details of the painted surface, installation renderings, and answer questions about scale, materials, or how a particular painting might relate to your home. Sometimes those conversations are brief. Sometimes they unfold over weeks or even months.

The timing has never mattered to me.

The right painting always has.

If you're looking for something created specifically for your home or project, Commission an Abstract Painting explores how that collaborative process begins. Every commission develops through the same intuitive approach that guides all of my paintings, allowing the finished work to remain every bit as authentic as the paintings created in my studio.

Buying directly from an artist means the conversation becomes part of the artwork's story.

Years from now, I don't want you to remember only where the painting hangs.

I hope you remember where it began.

Private Studio Appointments

Photographs are an important way to discover artwork, but they can never fully replace standing in front of a painting.

Scale changes.

Texture changes.

Light changes.

So does your experience of the work.

If you're in Austin or planning a visit, Private Studio Appointments offer an opportunity to experience the paintings where they were created, ask questions, and spend time with the work without feeling rushed.

There should never be pressure.

Only conversation.

Only curiosity.

Only enough time to know whether a painting feels like it belongs in your life.

Before You Visit

Can I experience the paintings before making a decision?

Absolutely.

Whether you'd like additional photographs, close-up details of the painted surface, installation renderings, or prefer to experience the paintings in person, I'm happy to help you become familiar with the work before making a decision. Original art deserves time, and I never want anyone to feel rushed.

Can I visit the studio if I'm in Austin?

Yes.

If you're local or planning a visit, I'd be happy to arrange a private studio appointment. Spending time with the paintings where they were created offers a very different experience than viewing them online. It also gives us the opportunity to talk about the work, your space, and any questions you may have without interruption.
