I create captivating works of art for elegant people who what something truly unique. My purpose as an artist is to inspire others to seek out balance while also appreciating the beauty of our journey. I integrate opposites to reflect opposing thoughts, ideas, and demands on our time in order to invite the viewer to question their own passions and purpose. The colors, blends and mix of angles and organic elements reflect the intricate layers of our humanity. In the pursuit of balance, we uncover our own core identity, awaken our soul, and discover life is not a destination but a continuous evolution.
