My work is a celebration of life, blending technical mastery with elegance. I specialize in fine art photography, often using multiple exposure techniques and hand-painted backgrounds to create finished, complex images entirely in-camera. For other projects, I utilize a hybrid approach—combining those in-camera techniques with Photoshop to create intricate digital collages. Whether capturing fashion and beauty or abstract still life, my focus is always on bold, saturated color and deep texture.

Inspiration is constant; I find beauty everywhere. Sometimes it’s a person with incredible style, a unique quality of light, or a deep conversation. I’m equally moved by music as I am by the hidden details found in the world around me. As a native New Yorker, I’m inspired by the city’s energy and the way it intersects with the everyday. To me, art is a shared discovery—a vibrant reflection of the fashion, beauty, and human connections that fuel my creative process.

This prize will seed a "Creative Hub," a three-story destination where art is lived, not just viewed. The ground floor will be an inviting social gallery featuring photography, sculpture, fashion, and beautiful objects, paired with a coffee and wine bar to encourage guests to stay and connect. My second-floor photography studio will serve clients, while the third floor will house my partner’s design studio. My vision is a vibrant, accessible space where community and creativity thrive together.
