From the Artist:
Impulse is the heartbeat of my creativity, a visceral reaction to inspiration that drives me to draw and paint. My work is born from a deep emotional connection to self-discovery and expression. Through colorful abstract forms, l translate my feelings, energy, and the boundless expanse of the universe into visual narratives.
I am captivated by the beauty of human connection, reflected in my exploration of hand gestures and American Sign Language, which carry an inherent power and grace. These pieces resonate with the rhythm of communication and expression.
Inspired by the stories and masterpieces of renowned artists, I find joy in re-imagining their influence into something uniquely my own-a tribute to their legacy and a testament to the impulse that fuels my artistic journey.
With a playful approach to lighting and a bold color palette often influenced by pop and cartoon art, Year in Review is a collection of portraiture, animals, and unique depictions of well loved characters and tropes of popular culture.

“As a photographer, I am interested in naturalistic, lived-in settings. Whether shooting on film and presenting images without alteration, or employing digital manipulation to create the vintage looks I desire, my aim is to make evocative art that displays a sense of spirit in the natural world. My work is a combination of directed image creation, and photographing candid moments.
