I create because I believe there is integrity in revealing what goes unnoticed - finding truth, beauty and meaning in what I capture.

Where do you find inspiration?I draw inspiration from what surrounds me-- people, color, and sound. The world feels like a living painting, full of meaning waiting to be noticed. Yet it moves quickly pulling our attention in many directions that sometimes lack fruit. Through my work, I aim to slow that pace down. I want to invite viewers to look deeper and consider the meaning beneath what they see. I do this by telling authentic human stories-- creating space for connection between the subject and the viewer.
What would you do with $25,000?I would put this towards my future! I desire to go into ministry school and from my life’s ambition is to serve people whether that is practically or through my art making! These funds would support me in that!
