Artist Statement

I have always been a seeker. One who looks for beauty and truth. I have walked down many paths in this pursuit. Art has always been my gateway into the unknown. A place where I can open up and hear my heartbeat. See the unseen. Each day I work to craft my life as a piece of art. One that is beautiful, dynamic, challenging, playful, content, and in love with life. My work is about that journey.

Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing or commissioning an art piece.
