Hi, I’m R.A.

I'm a proud husband, dad, veteran, and gamer—and art has always been my sidekick. I started creating abstract art while deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq in the early 2000s. Amidst the chaos, art became my way of processing everything around me. It wasn’t meant to be more than an outlet at first, but over time, those raw, expressive patterns became a reflection of who I am today.

Art has always been a part of me, right alongside my secret stash of superhero comics and video games. I’ve channeled that passion into fan art, celebrating the characters and legends that fueled my imagination. But it’s not all capes and masks! I also love to create mind-bending abstract pieces—where I let my creativity run wild and break all the rules.

My abstract art isn’t about telling you what to see or what I see—it’s about inviting you to explore and find your own meaning. Some might see energy and movement; others, emotions or stories. It’s not about my experience alone—it’s about what you bring to it. I want to connect with fellow fans, stir emotions, and maybe even get a "wow" or two.

I’m not here to follow trends or make mainstream art. My work is personal, messy, and open to interpretation. If it resonates with you, even for a moment, that’s what truly matters. Whether you're here to explore, collect, or just enjoy the view—welcome. I’m glad you found my corner of the creative world.

Let’s get to work.
