About Me

I've drawn for most of my life. When muscular dystrophy progressed to the point where I could no longer use my hands, I had to find a new way to keep making art. I found it in motion — rolling paint-covered wheels across canvas instead of holding a brush.

The idea started small: I'd been recording videos of running my wheels over things, just to see what happened. One day I wondered what would happen with paint instead. My first attempt was $10 of tempera paint on cheap paper — just to see if the idea would even work. It did, and I've been creating this way ever since.

Every piece here starts the same way: color, movement, and no way to fully control where it ends up. That unpredictability is the whole point.

Based in Austin, TX. My work has led to gallery invitations and live painting events — if you want to see the process yourself, I'm on Instagram and Threads as @treadlightly_art, or find more of my work on Pinterest.
