Receive Text UpdatesI create work inspired by nature and animals, focusing on light, shape, and how things feel in a space. I’m drawn to pieces that are calm and grounded— something you can live with every day without it overwhelming a space.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in real things—light, movement, and quiet moments people overlook. It comes from paying attention. Nature, animals, and how things actually behave, not just how they look in a photo. A lot of my work comes from observing behavior, energy, and subtle expression in both animals and nature.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d use it to create stability and build this the right way—better tools, a dedicated workspace, and getting my work in front of more people. Right now I’m doing everything myself. This would let me focus, grow, and actually move forward instead of just keeping up.
