About Us
My name is Shaun, a veteran, a survivor, and an artist in recovery.
For most of my life, I carried my battles in silence. Addiction took years from me, but it also pushed me toward something I never expected: art. What started as a way to stay alive slowly became the thing that helped me rebuild my life piece by piece.
Spray paint gave me a voice when I didn’t have one.
Color gave me a way to feel again.
Canvas gave me a place to pour the parts of my story I didn’t know how to speak.
Every painting you see here is a moment in my journey. A step out of the dark, a truth I had to face, or a little hope I fought to hold onto. Nothing in my art is random. Every burst of color, every silhouette, every layer is tied to something real I lived through.
I’m still on this journey.
And when you connect with a piece, you’re not just buying art, you’re joining the process that saved my life.
Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply drawn to the emotion behind these paintings, thank you for being here.
It means more than you know.
Art is my recovery.
Maybe a piece of it can become part of yours, too.
