I have been creating professionally since 2019. I started really diving into different creative mediums during this time, starting with acrylic pour painting and drawing, and used Sutherland Creative as a way to share my process and learning experiences. Prior to this I did a lot of artistic photography, which you can see in my Artist Portfolio.

​

Since that time, I dedicated myself to a creative lifestyle through learning and creating daily. I have been certified in Ancestral Healing, as an Herbalist, Holistic Health Practitioner, and a student of Yoga. I have also taken educational courses in folklore and story, drawing, watercolor painting, graphic design, holistic education for children, gender and women's studies, anthropology, and history. I have been interviewed multiple times by Voyager Denver and Shoutout Colorado for my artistic endeavors, and was named one of Colorado's 40 Under 40 Business Leaders with the CO LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce in 2023.​

​

Currently, I live in Estes Park, Colorado with my wife, Stacey, who is a Fire Safety Assistant with the Prevention Division with the Estes Valley Fire Protection District, and our four children, whom we home school. I also work as the Barn Manager for my father, Mark Rashid, and when I am not working and/or creating, I love to watch and play soccer with my family, and spend time outside in the beautiful Rocky Mountains.
