I create art to make emotion visible and energy tangible.

I create large scale abstract work that pulls an emotional reaction out of the viewer and challenges perception. I am drawn to immersive, layered pieces that feel unexpected, work that engages the senses and invites people to experience the world differently. I am inspired by work that pushes me beyond my comfort zone, allowing each piece to evolve through tension, movement, and discovery. Raw canvas lets the work breathe and absorb; primed canvas pushes back.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the connections shared with people, environments, and travel. I believe we are all connected to each other and to the world around us through a deeper sense of consciousness. I’m drawn to the energy within those experiences, translating feeling, movement, and awareness into work that invites others to tap into that same connection.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in expanding both the scale and visibility of my work. This includes creating larger pieces and placing my work in key markets like Miami and Palm Beach. I want my work to be experienced in spaces where it can truly connect, resonate, and live beyond the moment it’s created, while continuing to build a life rooted in both creativity and purpose.
