MY Story

Hi! I'm Brandon, a city-dwelling scientist now making sculptures and cocktails that feel right using whatever's left...I was born in the Bahamas, raised outside Nashville, and left my hometown, family, and friends to launch a research career at Yale... 6 months before the pandemic changed everything. I spent my COVID years studying addiction, pain, and PTSD as though the outside world just wasn't cheerful enough already.One day, looking to blow off steam, I wandered into an art store with a visiting buddy and discovered that modeling clay (plasticine) was a fun medium to express myself. Off I went, hands too messy to scroll my news feeds, sipping my first poor attempt at a margarita.A couple years later, I met my dear friends, Goose, George, and Ann. Recognizing my fascination with his work and seeing potential in my own, George started teaching me classical sculpting technique as Goose modeled for his ongoing work out of his Wallingford, CT studio.That same week, I showed up for my first shift at Ordinary, the bar that's taught me all I know about cocktails. I spent a wonderful Summer hauling angelic bronze and plaster figures by day and liquor crates and ice by night. I knew then that I couldn't get enough, and trust me I know the signs. So here we are.Thanks for reading; I hope you enjoy the ride with me as I continue to explore and unite my newfound passions.Love you to death,
-Brandon

Works in Progress!

I'm always turning over a new idea in my head, or thinking about something from a song, movie, or book to explore in art or in a drink. Here's what I'm listening to when I'm working!
