The photos in “Before Us” feature my and some of my friends’ parents before they had kids. The images are snapshots of this phase of self-invention, a collection inspecting our parents when they were still creating themselves: the pivotal years having freshly gained autonomy and dreaming of who they might be. Who were our parents before we knew them?

Paintings featured here are a mix of commissions and vintage road bikes painted for a show in 2017. Bicycle portraits are available as commissions.

These are prints I’ve made and mailed out for my Patreon each month. Click “Patreon” at the top of my website to join my pen pal club and I’ll send you some too!
