I view my work as ‘Visual Cartography of the Unseen.’ My colorblindness allowed me to bypass the ‘noise’ of traditional painting to focus on the raw geometry of existence. These patterns are my attempt to map the interconnected ‘source code’ of the universe. I’m not just making art; I’m trying to make the invisible architecture of reality tangible.

Your brain completes patterns. It assigns meaning. It builds an emotional reality from incomplete information then calls that reality “the truth.”
My art exists to interrupt that automatic process for just a moment.
Long enough to ask:
Is this the only way I can see this?
Could I see it differently?
Could I see myself differently?
The deeper mission is not to give you answers. It is to train you to meet uncertainty without collapsing into fear and to meet yourself without outsourcing your meaning to everyone else.
You are not just looking at the image.
The image is showing you how you look.

The light that you carry can shine only if you let go of who you think you are , and truly embrace and know who you are !

Some of the best things happen when I’m just in the moment paying attention to what I’m doing right now. The art that I’ve been creating has been giving me the type of attention and presence where time just dissolves. Every layer of linework and color is an exercise in tuning out the noise and dialing completely into the present. What do you see in the layers? Drop your thoughts below. 🔻#ArtProcess #InTheMoment #CreativeFlow #MindfulMaking #ArtistLife by @sourcedrawn

Purple For centuries, the color purple was a secret locked away in the shells of tiny sea snails.
Along the ancient Phoenician coast, thousands of Bolinus brandaris snails were harvested just to extract a few drops of a pungent, magical secretion. The labor was brutal, the smell was overwhelming, and the result was so exorbitantly expensive that true purple became worth more than gold. It was declared illegal for anyone to wear it except emperors, kings, and high priests. To be “born to the purple” meant you held the absolute pinnacle of human power.
For generations, kings guarded that monopoly. Commoners who tried to mimic it used cheap plant dyes that faded in the sun, leaving them with pale, temporary imitations of royalty.
Then came an eighteen-year-old college student in 1856 named William Henry Perkin. While trying to synthesize a cure for malaria in his home laboratory, he messed up an experiment. Instead of medicine, he found a dark, sludgy mess at the bottom of his beaker. When he added alcohol, it bloomed into a brilliant, electric violet.
It was the world’s first synthetic dye—mauveine.
Suddenly, the color of Caesars and high-altar bishops was unlocked from the ocean floor. Mass-produced and cheap, it flooded the fashion houses of London and Paris, famously splashed across the silk gown of Queen Victoria herself.
A color that once belonged exclusively to the untouchable elite was finally handed to everyone.

This is the start of one of my biggest projects
63inx 6yards
Capturing the space between handwriting, neural pathways, cosmic filaments, and the human need to find meaning in complexity.
These marks are still becoming something. I’m following the connections before I know where they lead.
