I create art through words, to summon the depths of imagination to re-open portals within ourselves..

I create narrative-driven art through writing, stories that blend mythology, history, and imagination into immersive worlds. My work explores identity, memory, and transformation, often following characters across time and realms. I’m drawn to building layered universes that feel both ancient and personal, where emotion and symbolism carry as much weight as plot. Writing allows me to create experiences that stay with people, not just stories they read and move on from.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the intersection of history, emotion, and lived experience. Moments of loss, resilience, and transformation often shape my work, along with ancient mythology and the idea that time is layered rather than linear. I’m also inspired by everyday human connection how people love, struggle, and rebuild. Those patterns tend to echo across eras, and I try to capture that continuity in what I create.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in expanding my work into a fully realized creative project, finalizing and producing my current book series while developing visual and digital components to bring the world to life. This includes professional editing, design, and marketing, as well as building a platform to share the work more broadly. I would also dedicate time to creating new material and collaborations that allow the stories to evolve beyond the page and reach a wider audience.
