About the Artist
I don’t just make art—I create encounters with Christ.
I’m a Catholic artist from Fort Worth, Texas, using painting, ceramics, printmaking, and woodwork to evangelize through beauty. Inspired by the Impressionists and sacred tradition, my work serves a higher purpose: to lead souls to Christ.
My mission is to bridge East and West—using sacred visuals that resonate across cultures. I focus especially on Japan, where I promote the canonization of Blessed Justo Takayama Ukon, a samurai who laid down his sword for the Cross. Through art, events, and film, I aim to rekindle the faith in Japan and inspire the West through its forgotten saints.
Whether on canvas or in conversation, my goal is simple: use beauty to evangelize, unite, and lift hearts to Go

Let’s connect if you believe art can heal, inspire, and lead others to God.

Mission Statement
To ignite hearts and minds through faithful, creative storytelling rooted in Catholic truth — using radio, film, television, and sacred art to inspire, educate, and evangelize people of all ages. Through compelling narratives, relatable characters, and beauty-driven media, we seek to proclaim the Gospel, celebrate the lives of the saints, and invite audiences into a deeper encounter with Jesus Christ and His Church.
With a special focus on evangelization in Japan, we are committed to reigniting the flame of faith in a land once set alight by the blood of martyrs and the witness of hidden Christians. Through culturally resonant content and spiritually rich storytelling, we honor the legacy of Japanese Catholic saints while planting seeds of renewal for generations to come.
