The American West, unfiltered.

Large-scale neo-expressionist paintings on power, vulnerability, independence and identity, created intuitively. Originals, commissions and site-specific murals.

Why I paint

So many people live on autopilot, repeating what already exists. I want to interrupt that, and get people to really look and be curious. There's a whole universe within them, waiting to be explored.Kelly O'Brien

When I stop premeditating, I synchronize with something. That's what I'm painting from.

I pull out a canvas, start with one thing, and follow where it goes.
