About Us

I was a poor college kid who was lost in a fast-paced world. I had learned to barter things while working swing shifts to pay bills. While skipping school to hang out with my girlfriend in Davis, I found an art store that was having a sale. I bought my first set of art supplies and told my girlfriend that I'll paint Jose's birthday gift. Sure enough, I painted my first Bob Marley. The painting shown here is my second painting and my wife's favorite painting of all time. Yes, we got married 19 years ago. 

I found that Art and food have been quite therapeutic during my 9 year battle with Thyroid Cancer. Every time I felt a bit down, I would paint until I started feeling better.  Today, I donate my paintings to fundraise for youth-based organizations. My mission is to help as many people as possible before it's time to depart.
