Acrylic on 12x12” Canvas
Another in the artwork/remix series. The track is an edit of the homie Yeek’s track “Lonely” I made with 22.
This painting is one of my favorites I made for the purpose of a song cover. It mirrors the song’s transformation from a downtempo R&B track to a high-energy club mix.

Secret (2024)
Acrylic on 12x12” Canvas
This painting emerged as I returned to music production after a decade. While collaborating on tracks for DJ sets with my friend 22, I felt inspired to create artwork that demonstrates the bouncy, imaginative nature of the music.
For “Secret,” abstracted figures stretch and lean in, as if sharing secrets. The elongated forms express intimacy and connection, qualities central to both the painting and its accompanying music.

Right Here Right Now (2024)
Acrylic & Pastel
on 36x36” Canvas
The result of my ten day residency in Tokyo, Japan at The A.I.R. Building.
Maybe I subconsciously painted myself spinning records, but I really see this piece more as a tribute to the faceless selector—a celebration of those times the DJ turns a fleeting moment into a cherished memory.
Traveling across the world, connecting with strangers, and communicating through music—especially when verbal language wasn’t an option— was an unforgettable experience, and I am very grateful for the memories and painting that came as a result of my first residency.

The Blue Studio (2024)
Acrylic, Gesso, House Paint, Paint Markers, Tear from Herman Miller Sayl Chair (Repaired with Acid Free Glue and Canvas Patch)
on 36x48” Canvas
In recognizing the significance of space and specifically my workspace, I felt sentimental about my studio and decided it was a necessity to document my time spent here. So I decided to embrace the self portrait equally as a time capsule of the room.

In Different Places (2024)
12x12” Painting
Acrylic Ink on Canvas
Another one-off piece inspired by Feedback Loops series.
Commission for a new friend’s new apartment. After DJing his first house party there, I was inspired to make something bright, and a bit different than my previous work. While this feels closely related to the Feedback Loop series, it also feels like a slightly new, more zoomed in version of that style.

Watch Where You’re Going (2024)
20x20” Painting
Acrylic on Canvas
Though not directly a part of the Feedback Loops series, this painting is certainly closely related.
While finishing this piece, which I started at the end of 2023, I discovered a prevalent thru-line between my painting and DJ practices. This piece in particular has a sense and feels like a big step forward for this rhythmic, abstracted figurative style I’ve been exploring for the past couple of years.

Blues (2023-)
Series of free flowing blues I’ve been regularly creating at my home studio.
I like to think of these as blues that keep on moving.

Rot Or Bloom (2023)
36x36” Painting
Mixed Media on Canvas
Seventh in the “Feedback Loops” series of physical paintings inspired by AI-created reference images.
Like the previous paintings in the series, this piece was developed by manipulating a number of AI-generated variations of the prior painting in the series into a digital collage, and then painting from that reference image. Thus this painting was created through multiple variations of the previous painting in the series, “Play In Between.”
