ABOUT
photograph by Magnolia Design Studio
I’m fascinated by the cause-and-effect of events from our past and present on our psychology. How do these events and memories shape and affect who we are today, the choices we make, and how we present ourselves to the world? In turn, what is our effect on the world around us?
This is what I try to capture in my work.
I'm a Contemporary Realist artist working mainly in oils and pencil. I submerged myself in art until the age of eighteen, then put it aside for twenty-three years to pursue Graphic Design and writing. I was gifted my grandfather’s paints and brushes in 2018 and returned to my first love.
I grew up on movies, MTV, and Vogue magazine, and I love the wild creativity and cinematic drama of stories, music, and fashion. I've always devoured art history and historical masters like Rembrandt, DaVinci, and Gerome, and now contemporary masters like The Wyeths, Kehinde Wiley, Odd Nerdrum, and Margaret Bowland.
