He is happily married to Rachel, a talented pastry chef, and is the proud father of Luke, Jack, and Levi."I grew up in a 150-year-old ramshackle farmhouse in rural South Carolina. I deeply connected to nature as a child - the horses, cows, and puppies on our little plot of land in the country were my friends. The work I make now is a celebration of that - an exercise in observation. I paint every single piece as if I were to hang it in my home. It just makes life better.""I'm most passionate about art that I want to live within my own home and I honestly believe that it makes life better."
