Artist Statement

From road-tripping and climbing mountain peaks across national parks in the United States to backpacking across numerous countries in Europe, I live to conquer doubt and inspire the soul to create joy out of misery. Bliss is just on the other side of fear.

I aim to inspire others by sharing my stories and visions. My hope is to motivate others to get out of their comfort zone and see the world beyond their immediate surroundings.

I am passionate about creating dynamic imagery that illustrates the perpetual beauty in humans and nature. I hope my work inspires you to create, travel, empathize with every living being, and follow the visions that bring you joy.

Biography

As a photographic fine artist and videographer often exploring isolated and abandoned destinations to create surreal scenes, I travel the world to capture and share serene moments that illuminate the everlasting light in all of us

My conceptual work emanates from a subconscious space between an ominous dream realm and the exhilarating natural beauty of the real world. Assimilating my audience into a phantasm of brilliance & despair, I expose my subjects to my hidden visions and capture light in my artwork to represent hope. Hope to keep travailing through the darkness when one is lost in the fearsome, shadowy chapters of life.

During the 2020 quarantine lockdowns and travel bans, I began to paint at home. Pouring acrylic on canvas in abstract flows to illustrate the mental conflictions from all the absurd madness out in the world influencing and traumatizing everyone in different ways.
