My favorite work bridges traditional mediums with cutting-edge technology. I create large-format abstract expressionist oil paintings that explore complex human emotions. Recently, I have expanded this physical practice by experimenting with sandboxed AI models trained exclusively on my own art style. This allows me to create personalized data visualizations that interact with the viewer, fusing the tactile, emotional weight of a raw canvas with immersive, modern digital innovation.

I find inspiration by actively listening to my environment. Commuting into Manhattan and working from my studio immerses me in a constant flow of stories from strangers, loved ones, and the raw energy of the city. I often document these fleeting moments on 35mm film before translating them onto canvas. By paying close attention to the people and the urban landscape around me, I discover deeply relevant, shared human experiences that fuel the emotional core of my abstract work.

This $25K will fund a scalable fine art production engine. Leveraging my 9 years of marketing experience, $10K goes to advanced digital ad campaigns, guaranteeing a massive audience for the LA Salon. $7K sustains my Manhattan studio to hit my two-canvas-a-week goal. $5K secures large-format canvases and 35mm film. The final $3K funds my digital infrastructure and IP protection. This ensures the work isn't just created, but positioned to make a cultural impact.
