I specialize in psychologically expressive art…work that confronts emotion, challenges perception, and invites deeper self-reflection.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in human experience…especially the subtle, often overlooked moments that shape how we move through the world. My work begins with observation and intuition, using charcoal as a way to translate feeling, presence, and change into something tangible.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I would invest in time, materials, and space to fully commit to developing a larger body of charcoal work rooted in lived experience. It would give me the stability to take creative risks and produce work at the scale and depth my practice is moving toward.
