There is a silliness to how I sit down to paint, and a seriousness too. I reach for whatever is sitting heaviest in me that day and try to give it a shape — something a little absurd, a little tender. Nonsense Asunder is where those things live.

Baltimore-based maker and lifelong collector of hobbies — I sew, work leather, build bookshelf dioramas, make jewelry, do a little woodwork, and have been known to weld. I've spent twenty years in coffee, made art in more coffeeshops and bars than I can count, and let backpacking, climbing, and snowboarding take me to places that changed how I see. I'm drawn to good food, beautiful architecture, and charmingly decrepit corners of cities. Around 2015 I stopped treating art as one hobby among many and started treating it as the thing that holds all the others together. I'm still figuring it out. These works are the ongoing answer.
