(b. 1981, San Francisco, CA)

Regan’s practice spans painting, drawing, sculpture, and digital media. His work builds figures shaped by personal history and memory, reflecting on 1990s California, intergenerational relationships, and the rise of early technology in the 2000s. At its core, his practice is rooted in storytelling, both as a vessel for memory and as a lens for understanding the present.

Often drawn from people close to him, Regan’s paintings carry tenderness, agency, and presence. They invite viewers to slow down and look closely. While grounded in observation, the work also leaves space for the surreal. Influenced by film, art history, and religion, otherworldly elements enter his compositions, expanding them into spaces where memory and imagination meet.

Regan studied Visual Communication with a focus on illustration before turning his full attention to fine art. He lives in Houston, Texas, with his husband and their two dogs, Annie and Wednesday.
