I create art because I’m compelled - for posterity, and for the luminous, joyful flow during creation.

My favorite type of art to create blends poetry with photography, video, digital imagery, and music. I love creating dreamy worlds where words and images feel luminous, evocative, and timeless.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in fleeting wonders and epic stories - from the delicate flutter of a yellow skipper butterfly to glorious films starring Cillian Murphy to resonant songs by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. I’m also inspired by literature and poetry, including works by Keats, James Baldwin, the Brontës, and Maya Angelou.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest the $25,000 in my creative future. A more powerful computer and camera equipment would expand what I can create - more refined digital art, and crisper photography. Just as importantly, it would give me the breathing room to create without the weight of daily worry, offering the freedom every artist needs to simply be creative.
