About
I’d love to say I’m a full time artist, but I’m not. I have a day job in tech and my creative time is limited to “after hours” hence the name. When it comes to finding images to paint I look for what I call everyday magic. It’s those things that give me a moment of awe or they make me pause and enjoy life. I work primarily in oils and like to apply numerous layers – letting them build up for that sense of depth. Painting isn’t my only creative endeavor though. You name it I’ve tried it. I also do knitting and sewing on a regular basis. Basically I like to make stuff.
I don’t sell many of my works, but will accept a periodic commission if requested. I do hope to leave the tech rat race eventually though so hoping I can expand my creative presence over time. I don’t use any AI in my work and believe the process of making is what makes me happy. There’s no satisfaction in having a computer do it. I hope you enjoy the site. Feel free to reach out, though if you’re trying to sell me SEO services just go away.
