Born into a creative family, The Live Local Artist discovered his passion at the kitchen table, where he spent hours drawing alongside his mom and siblings. Inspired by his father's music and driven by a relentless desire to grow, he sharpened his skills by painting alongside Bob Ross. He later studied Computer Animation at the Art Institute of Dallas. There, he learned a key truth:
"I can't wait for someone to guide me to success; if I want it, I have to go for it."
Now, more than 25 years into his artistic journey, that same spirit continues to drive everything he does. His mission has remained simple and powerful:
"To reflect the world around me honestly and purely, that highlights the simple beauty of life."
Through this vision, his work has reached countless homes and hearts. And now, in partnership with Ur Berdea LLC, The Live Local Artist is bringing his creations to a broader audience than ever before. Together, they offer original art for the home and office, along with adult painting kits and puzzles designed for relaxation, creativity, and connection.
This partnership marks a new chapter in his journey—where passion meets purpose, and local art meets lasting impact.
