I love to create art to give others a peak into my inner world. My work is an invitation to find resonance in the unknown.

My favorite art to create is worlds that depict my dream states and unconscious. Blurring our waking world with the symbolic world, drawing on what isn’t seen but felt. My paintings are visual poetics of the human experience.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in dreams, mediation and quiet moment. The unconscious, nature, and self introspection guide my work.
What would you do with $25,000?This would give me the freedom to fully realize my visions in NYC, where affordable studio space is the biggest hurdle. I’d invest in my practice—materials, space, and time—to create larger, more immersive work.
